Pamela Morrison; July 30, 2011

Pamela passed away on July 30.

She was born April 26, 1942 in Cleveland, Ohio.

She was preceded in death by her parents George Raymond and Mary Elizabeth Goss.

She is survived by her husband Bill; her son Mark and wife Lisa Morrison; her daughter Melissa and husband Michael Riley; and, grandchildren Christopher Morrison, Kaitlyn Riley and Alison Riley. She is also survived by her brother Gary and wife Duave Goss.

Pamela graduated from Gadsden High in 1960 and Jacksonville State University in 1964. It was at Jacksonville State that she met her husband Billy. After graduating in May, she and Billy were married in June and began their military life. As a military wife and mother for over twenty years she lived in many places to include Kansas, Louisiana, Labrador, Kentucky, Maryland, Arizona, Nebraska, California, North Carolina and France. Since 1984 she has lived in Madison and enjoyed many friends in the area, especially those of the several bridge groups in which she was a long-time member.

Pamela fought courageously for many years against different types of cancer, but seldom shared her burdens with family and friends. She will always be remembered as a loving and lovable wife, mother and friend. She was especially fond of little dogs and was never without at least one.

Pamela was a charter member of the Huntsville Botanical Garden and also a charter member of Asbury United Methodist Church.

Memorial services will be held at Asbury United Methodist Church at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, August 3,  with Revered Marcus Long officiating. Madison Chapel Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be made at www.madisonchapelfuneralhome.com

In lieu of flowers the family recommends that any donations be given to The Russel Hill Cancer Foundation and The Clearview Cancer Institute.
