Welcome!
We are proudly fundraising for Make-A-Wish Mississippi in memory of Pamela Winkler.
When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. The majority of wish kids go on to beat their critical illnesses, and research shows that a wish can help children build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight – giving them a better chance of surviving and thriving.
Every day, 70+ children are diagnosed with a critical illness and count on donors like us to help make their wish come true.
Pam was a cherished mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend, known for her warmth, kindness, and ability to light up any room.
Will you join me by making a gift in her memory today?
Thanks for your support!
March 27, 1960 – July 9, 2024
Pamela (Pam) was born on March 27, 1960, to the late Quenton Walter and Mildred Joyce Cox. She attended Wingfield High School in Jackson, Mississippi. After high school, she attended and graduated from Mississippi State University in 1983, where she made many lifelong friends. If you knew Pam, then you also knew that she was forever proud to be a Bulldog. Pamela was a loving and devoted mother to her two children, Dustin and Amanda. Her children were the
pride and joy of her life, and she dedicated herself to nurturing and supporting them in all their endeavors – often with a side of well-meaning advice. As a grandmother, Pam’s love knew no bounds. She adored her three grandchildren, Swayze, Sutton and Lincoln, she cherished every moment she had with them. Known for her playful spirit, she delighted in spoiling her grandchildren. Pam is also survived by her brother, Harrell and sister, Rachael. Pam and Harrell shared a close bond shaped by their disciplined upbringing under 1st Sargent Quenton Cox. Their childhood was marked by perfectly made beds and punctual schedules. Despite being strict, her father always made sure to pepper in just the right amount of love. Pam’s friends were like siblings to her as well, especially her Tammy, whom some have jokingly said was her life partner. Their strong family ties and laughter-filled
moments created lifelong memories. Pamela had a knack for finding humor in everyday situations, and her infectious laugh could brighten the darkest days. She never met a stranger and had the unique ability to make everyone feel like a friend. Whether she was sharing a funny story or offering a comforting word, Pamela’s presence was a gift to all
who knew her. Pamela's legacy of love, laughter, and compassion will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
A memorial service to celebrate Pamela's life will be held at Wright & Ferguson Funeral Home [114 Burney Drive, Flowood, MS 39232], on Saturday, July 13 at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests
that donations be made to Make-A-Wish Mississippi through this site in Pamela's honor.
