Pamela Thompson's Obituary
Pamela Kay Thompson, age 72, of Texarkana, Texas passed away on Friday,
December 8, 2023, at home surrounded by family and friends after a long and
courageous battle with breast cancer.
Mrs. Thompson was born on September 18, 1951, in Texarkana, Arkansas and had
lived most of her life in Texarkana, Tx before moving to Longview, Texas. She was a
member of First Baptist Church in Longview where she remained close to her church
family even after moving back to Texarkana to be close to family after return of cancer.
She retired as a supervisor from Hallmark cards and enjoyed camping with her husband
and fur babies at Lake Greeson and spending time with family and friends. She
remained close to a number of her high school friends from Liberty Eylau and looked
forward to their luncheons as well as with her friends and coworkers from her days
working at Collom and Carney. Mrs. Thompson was one of the kindest and most
gracious women you would ever meet and always had a smile on her face. Her strength
and grace during her fight with cancer was awe inspiring.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Stan Thompson; her parents Lum and Margie
Curtis and her fur babies Rowdy, Chloe and Honcho.
She is survived by her daughters Andrea Heflin, Kim Kirtley, Andrea Boos and Lucy (fur
baby); two granddaughters Emily and Katie Boos; her brothers and sister in laws Scott
and Teresa Curtis and Gary and Penny Curtis; several nieces and nephews and a
number of friends who were more like family. Special thank you to her church family at
First Baptist Church of Longview who continued to support and love her even after
moving back to Texarkana. Also, special thank you to Retreat Healthcare Services to
include Home Health and Hospice who not only cared for her and her needs but also
became family.
A graveside service for Pamela will be held at 10 am on Thursday, December 14 at Rosewood Park Mausoleum.
