Pamela Kay Bennett

Pamela Bennett went to be with the Lord on Tuesday January 18, 2022, at the age of 66. She is preceded in death by her parents, Claude and Jackie Bennett, her sister Debbie, and grandson Jared, and niece Sara. Loving mother to Catherine Mullen and her husband Todd, Larry Peters Jr. and his wife Amanda, Christina Lewis and her husband Bradley, and Amanda Pinkston. Proud grandmother to Ashlyn , Nathan, Mikayla, Shayna, Victoria. Makenzie, Samantha, Taylor, Curtis Jon, Brock, Jared, Ethan, Payton, Adalyn, and Bodey. Great grandmother to Isabella, Caylee, Killian, Dallon, and Dean. Sister to Claude “Bubba” Bennett, Steve Bennett and his wife Jill, Phyllis McCrohan and her husband Pat, and Karen Williamson and her husband Bary. It always seemed there was a struggle awaiting around every corner for her to face. In the end, she struggled to breathe, she struggled to walk, and struggled to move her fingers. What is remarkable is she faced every struggle with fierce tenacity and determination. She loved ceaselessly and gave without consideration for herself. She would literally give all that she had, facing yet another struggle ensuring those she loved did not have to. She was not perfect, but she loved perfectly. Life, it seems, may not be fair. And it certainly was not fair to her. But how she faced life should be a shining example to us all that life is about loving one another and carrying each other’s burdens. She didn’t have much when she left this world because while she was in this world she gave everything she had. What she leaves behind is an image, an example of what we all should live up to. She loved without ceasing, gave without question, and faced every struggle with courage. Nana was not a religious woman. However, she lived the gospel message. She loved her neighbor as herself. She loved her family without end. She gave without expecting anything in return. Forgiving without judgement. She put aside selfish ambitions and considered others better than herself. She was the peacemaker. She was the poor in spirit, the meek, the merciful. She was the pure in heart. She was the lending ear whenever your words needed to be heard. She was the calming voice whenever you needed the world to be silent. She was always present to help you through the troubles. Nana will be sorely missed and those she left behind must now live in a world that no longer has her in its grip. She was taken way to soon, but she is free now, and we are left behind waiting for the day to be with her again.
