My Story


Pamela Ray was a loving daughter, wife and mother.  She was born in Pontiac, MI.  Her parents were Robert and JoAnne Lawson.  She had one sibling; Greg Lawson.  She was married to Thomas Ray, of Union Lake, MI on February 28, 1969.  They raised two children, Kimberly and Jeffrey. 
She loved life and was a very friendly, outgoing, and loving person.  The family started out in Waterford, MI, and eventually moved to Fenton, MI in 1978.  Pamela was a great mom, she attended all sporting events and activities of her children.  She put her children and husband first.  She was the best mom in the whole world!  They bought a place up north near West Branch on the Titabawassee river.  They met many great life long friends there.  Eventually, when the kids were out of school, they moved to the river and then bought a place in Bonita Springs, FL.  They would share time in both places, becoming "snow birds".  Pam loved the moon, stars and especially sunsets!  She loved to have fun and do things with her grandchildren.  She had three grandchildren, Clark and Avery who were Jeff and Jen's children, and Mackenzie who is Kimberly and Brian's child.  She even loved her granddog's!  She was a very cool lady.  She was a fantastic singer and loved to sing and do karaoke. She died too soon.  We will miss her so much with all our hearts.
We all tried very hard to make her live, but her disease came on to quickly.  She died April 1, 2011 of chronic liver failure.  We really were trying to get her to Michigan to go to Henry Ford Hospital, but she was just too weak.  We love her so very much.   This site is being created, so her other loved ones can enter a memory of her or a feeling they may have of Pam.
May God watch over you and keep you safe Mom.
