Pamela Ann

Goates

It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of Pamela Ann Goates, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Pam  left  this  world surrounded by love, leaving  behind a  legacy  of  kindness, creativity, and devotion to her family. Family was always at the heart of her life. She was a loving wife to her husband, Jerry  (Rusty)  Goates;  a  caring mother to  her  daughter  Cindy Hamlin  and husband Chris, and to her son Steven Goates; and a proud grandmother to her grandson, James Hamlin, who was truly her pride and joy. She is also survived by her loving mother,  Mary Carr; her sister Jan Baker and husband Kerry; and her brother Terry Carr and wife Chris. Pam's love extended to her nieces and nephews, including JW Baker and wife Vonda,  Dustin  Baker,  Ashley  Adames  and  husband  Justin,  and  Brittany Simmons, as  well as  her  cherished great-nieces  and great-nephews.  She now joins her father, Archie Carr, who passed before her. A gifted artist with a beautifully creative spirit, Pam expressed her love for life through  her  art, imagination,  and  ability  to  make  everyday  moments  special. She cherished traveling and especially treasured her summers in the mountains of New  Mexico—where  this  past  summer she  found  joy  visiting  her grandson James, drawing peace and inspiration from those moments together. Her tender  heart  extended  to  every member  of  the  family,  including  the  four-legged  ones.  Pam adored  the  family  dogs  and  never  missed  the  chance  to shower them with affection and cookie time. Pam's warmth, laughter, and love will forever be remembered by all who knew her.  She  leaves  behind  not  only  her  beloved  family,  but  also countless memories of joy, creativity, and unconditional love.
