Pamela Renee Ragan Thomas left this world to go to her eternal home on May 5, 2021. She was surrounded by her family and loved ones. Pam was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend.

Pam is the daughter of Dallas and Betty Ragan, born on November 27, 1970 in Bridgeport, AL. Pam graduated from North Jackson High School where she was part of the first ever graduating class in May of 1989. After returning to school while raising her children, Pam graduated with a degree in secondary education from Athens State University in 2010. Pam spent 8 years working at the Tennessee Valley Authority in Chattanooga, TN before finally realizing her lifelong dream and becoming a teacher at Stevenson Middle School in 2019. Pam cherished the opportunity to teach kids and loved interacting with them in her classroom.

Pam loved to sing and frequently sang hymns and praises at Hopewell Baptist Church in Bridgeport, AL, where she was a lifelong member. She loved people and was not hesitant about reaching out a helping hand or offering an encouraging word at a moment's notice. Pam loved photography. She took so much joy in capturing the precious moments in people's lives.

Pam never wavered from her faith during her battle with cancer. Pam had a consistent message during her fight, "Faith Over Fear". She was a true beacon of hope and light during a dark time in her and her family's lives. Her go-to passage from the Bible during this time comes from Psalms 91 which reads, "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

Pam is survived by her loving husband Kyle Thomas, children Austin and Lauren Peacock, parents Dallas and Betty Ragan, sister Amy (Brian) Hubbard, brother Jason (Carla) Ragan; uncles Don (Barbara) Ragan, Tommy (Martha) Ragan, Glenn (Charlotte) Ragan, and Keith (Gayle) Ragan, Fred (Pat) Marshall, Charles Marshall, aunt Mabel (Jerry) Howard; nephews Justin Rorex, Chase Ragan, Noah Glass, and Cameron Hubbard; nieces Nikki and Lindsay Glass, stepson Mathew Thomas, father to her children John Peacock and many cousins and beloved friends.

Pam is preceded in death by her grandparents, Earl and Ruth Ragan, Ermma and Charles Marshall, aunt and uncle Doris and Don Helton, aunts Mary Watkins and Joyce Marshall, uncles Jim, Homer, Raymond, John, and Bill Marshall.

Visitation for Pam will be held at Rudder Funeral Home in Bridgeport, AL on Friday, May 7th from 5 pm to 8 pm and Saturday, May 8th from 2 pm to 7 pm with a service to celebrate her life also at Rudder Funeral Home on Sunday, May 9th at 2 pm.
