Mrs. Marietta was my 5th grade teacher at Trinity Episcopal School in Jasper, TX and has always been one of my favorites. I also had the pleasure to grow to be friends with Hannah & Cameron as we grew up together. Cameron married another close friend in Blake and Hannah's high school boyfriend was my best friend. Needless to say, this is a great family and Pam made it all possible. She will be dearly missed and my family's thoughts are with her husband, kids and grandchildren. Cameron, Hannah, Blake....I love y'all and my heart is with you. If you need anything, please ask. R.I.P.

I'm so sorry for your loss! My heart is heavy knowing this wonderful lady is gone! My name is Leslie McCullough and Mrs. Marietta was my kindergarten teacher in Woodville, Tx. I was a shy and quiet child and Mrs. Marietta loved and cared for me. I didn't want to leave kindergarten at the end of the school year and she gave me two goldfish to take care of. She inspired me to become a teacher and I know she is not in pain. Hold on to all your memories to get through this difficult time. Your family will be in my prayers!
