Pamela Elaine Waller, 71, of Freeport, passed away at FHN on March 24, 2021 due to complications from diabetes. She was born July 13, 1949 in San Francisco, Ca. to Emerson Stanley Waller Sr. and Beulah Marie Jones. At just 2lbs, medical professionals told her parents not to name her as she would not make it through the night. She was a loving part of her family for more than 70 years to spite them all.
She graduated Freeport High School in 1968. For more than 30 years, she owned and operated a commercial and residential cleaning business. There was nothing she loved more than being around children. Although having none of her own, she was a precious aunt and "adopted" aunt to many, including: Michael Funk; Faithe Reed and her daughter Zoie. She was a member of Faith United Methodist Church in Freeport.
