From Pat Bray Jones: "Richard, I am sad to inform you of the passing of Pam Bryan Britain, class of 1958, on June 4, 2019. Walter Britain, her husband of almost 61 years informed me that she passed peacefully at home in Cleburne, Texas, surrounded by her family following a long battle with lung cancer and dementia.
She and Walter both attended West University Elem., Pershing Jr. High (where I met them both in home room), and Lamar, although Walter graduated from Allen Military Academy. Pam was a princess at their annual military ball.
They married July 11, 1958, and reared a son, Wayne and two daughters Stacy and Kim. Kim passed on March 1, 2018.
Pam's dad, Bill Bryan, was general manager of KTRH; her mother, Trudy, sang with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and had a TV show with Freddy Gibbons so Pam came by her singing ability quite naturally. She sang alto in the mixed choruses at Pershing and Lamar as well as the Lamar-o-Liers.
Pam never lost her slim graceful beauty and was adored by her devoted husband and children, three grandchildren, two great-grandchildren. She also leaves many friends of whom I am one who will miss her ready smile and lovely attitude. I never knew her to say an unkind word about anyone.
A memorial service will be held to honor Pam on July 20 at 1:00 p.m. at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 3816 Bellaire Blvd. in Houston."
