Pamela Michelle Crawford was born May 12, 1977 in Oklahoma City, OK, to Jeanne Crawford-Grace and passed on Good Friday April 7, 2023 in Tulsa, OK.

Pamela is preceded in death by her TeeTee Linda Crawford, her papa Leo Nation.

Pam had a very rough childhood. She was diagnosed with a very deadly cancer April 1, 1978. She had chemotherapy, extensive surgery at 14 months, and more chemotherapy for 2 years. No matter how sick she was at the time, she would raise her head and smile for the camera. The nurses called her the cheetobaby, because you would always see her eating cheetos and drinking tang. She was given a life expectancy of 4 years. But Pam proved them wrong and beat it.

Family was very important to Pam. She loved her sisters dearly. Everything the 4 of us did, was together. We would travel to the ocean, countless visits to the Zoo, museums, baseball games and concerts, but always together. She would argue a lot with her sisters, and I, but would we be texting each other the next day. It was always a group text with me included.

Pam absolutely loved Sharks, Penguins and Cats. She always had at least 5 cats in her house. If she saw one outside, she would think it was cold and hungry, so it became hers. All of her life she loved to read books, mainly Stephen King, and crime stories. Her niece Maria was just like her. She too loves sharks and Stephen King. Pam loved adored Maria very much. They were best buds. Pam would FaceTime with Maria for hours for no reason. She was like a daughter she could never have because of cancer. No Aunt and niece could be closer than they were.

Pam loved going to concerts with me, her sisters and her friends. She enjoyed the night life, so becoming a bartender was the perfect job for her. This past year, Pam decided to become a caretaker in a group house taking care of 3 handicap women. She cared very much for all of them and was always there to attend to their needs.

Pam loved and cared for everyone. She would give you her last dime if you needed it. She was very outspoken, tough, strong willed, soft-hearted and broken. Pam struggled with her health to the end. When she called me and said "Mom?", I knew that meant she wasn't feeling good. I wish I could have taken away all of her pain. Rest easy Pam and know that everyone loved you so much. A piece of me has died with you. I love you and miss you dearly. Until we meet again.

She is survived by her mother Jeanne Grace and step-dad Don Grace, her sister Sherree Williams and husband Eugene Williams, nephew Christian, her sister Jacquelyn Crawford, and niece Maria Crawford, her step-sister Hannah Grace, her nanner Judy Nation, her step-grandma Susan Grace, her TeeTee Darlene Reiswig, cousins Deana and Robert Reiswig, cousin David Lucero, and her Bestie Jennifer Mendez.
