Pam Ealey

Pamela Corinne Ealey, affectionately know as Pam, passed away peacefully on June 2, 2023, at NHC of Cookeville. Born on October 31, 1960, in Oak Ridge, TN, she was a loving, generous, and friendly soul who touched the lives of many throughout her 62 years.

Pam was a proud graduate of Oak Ridge High School and continued her education at Tennessee Tech University, where she earned her degree in 1982. Her dedication to education and personal growth was a testament to her strong character and determination.

On April 6, 1984, Pam married the love of her life, Roger Ealey, in Algood, TN. Together, they built a beautiful family, raising two daughters, Karen Taylor of Smyrna, TN, and Kimberly Noland and her husband Jon of Algood. Pam's love for her family was boundless, and she cherished every moment spent with her three grandchildren, Lilly Ealey, Miles Taylor, and Andrea Taylor. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Lynn Askew, and nephew, Chris Askew. Pam was preceded in death by her parents, Norman and Mildred Askew, and her two brothers, William and Greg Askew.

Throughout her professional life, Pam was a dedicated and hardworking individual. She was an active member of Hope Church in Algood, where she found solace and strength in her faith. For the past 17 years, Pam served as the executive director of Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity, where she made a lasting impact on the lives of countless families in need. Prior to her work with Habitat for Humanity, Pam was employed at JWC Broadcasting.

Pam's favorite color was purple, a hue that perfectly represented her vibrant and warm personality. She had a natural ability to make friends wherever she went, and her generosity knew no bounds. Her interests were vast and varied, but her true passion was helping others and making a difference in her community.

A Celebration of Pam's Life will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, June 7, at Hope Church in Algood. Pastor Rick Burnett and Pastor Jason Yarbrough will officiate. Her family will welcome friends Tuesday from 4-7 p.m. at the church.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity, 1546 East Spring Street Suite B Cookeville, TN 38506. www.uchabitat.org.

Pam's unwavering love, kindness, and dedication to her family, friends, and community will forever be remembered. She was a shining example of what it means to live a life full of purpose, and her memory will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her.
