Born in West Memphis, Arkansas, on February 26, 1951, she was the daughter of Granville Graden Brasfield and Wanda Mary Ann Maxwell Brasfield. Pam graduated from Pasadena High School in 1969, and then went to and graduated from Lamar University, after which, she worked as a respiratory care coordinator until retirement in 2005. Pam was a member of St. Paul United Methodist Church in Bridge City, volunteered at Ministerial Alliance, and was also a Charter Member of the Port Arthur Yacht Club. First and foremost, she loved her family with her whole heart. She loved cooking and baking and feeding everyone. She made sure to make everyone their own special goodies with their names written on the baggie. She enjoyed working in the yard, shopping, purses and shoes, and she spent her days living life, going to concerts, and spoiling her dog, Hershey. She had a tender, loving heart and never met a stranger. She was truly one of a kind. Pam’s love of animals was evident to anyone who knew her and Hershey.
She was preceded in death by her parents; nephew, Anthony “Marky” Barfield; and sister-in-law, Carol Brasfield.
She is survived by her husband of 27 years, Gary King; children, Emily Racca and husband, Steve, of Orangefield, TX, Thad King and Cecilia Pippin of Beaumont, TX, and Shelly Retzolk and husband, James, of Cedar Park, TX; grandsons, Korbin Racca, and Dillon Oxford; siblings, Granville Graden Brasfield, II, and Cynthia Barfield; nieces and nephews, Graden Brasfield and wife, Sarah, Jonathon Barfield and wife, Sarah, Cara Hance and husband, Michael, Austin Brasfield, and Cole Brasfield; numerous great-nieces and great-nephews; and beloved dog, Hershey.

What a sweet lady who always made you feel better about life whether you were up or down. If you wanted to light up a room, Pam could do it for you. Gary and Pam made the most memorable vacation my family ever went on possible. I was in an accident with broken ribs and my wife and I could not handle our boat by ourselves. Gary and Pam dropped what they were doing to go with us and share the "work." What a kind couple. I will never forget Pam below cooking in the galley. The boat was heeling about 40 degrees and she was below as comfortable as you would be in your own kitchen. My family will miss you Pam. Randy Robin

Had confirmation that a long ago friend of mine died on Friday. She took me under her wings and taught me how to live on my own when I met her at my first adult job after highschool. We had some great times and some trying times together. I'm thankful that through Facebook I found her again. You were truly a hoot Pam Brasfield King ... I'll see you later gator. RIP :broken_heart:

This was absolutely the most fitting and appropriate memorial I could think of for Mrs. Pam!!! Just as beautiful and honest as she was. She was a Spitfire...a ball of energy... And a heart of gold! She's already missed greatly. She loved her family beyond words. And her dog (and mine and probably every other dog she ever met) were treated better by her than a lot of people treat each other! Once we had a fence built to keep our dogs home...Mrs. Pam would "sneak" over and toss them treats over the fence to make sure they didn't forget her and still felt her love. My girls were so spoiled by her. It wasn't ever anything huge or fancy and it didn't have to be... Just the fact that she THOUGHT of them meant the world. An icee, a pair of socks, candy, sister necklaces.... Just a little something here and there to let them know she was thinking of them. The love my 8 year old has for Mrs. Pam is so beautiful. Pam never talked to her like she was a child, never rushed her through her stories, never made her feel silly or like she was a bother. She always had time, love and patience for my kids. And just like they said in the obituary... She always had treats in bags with their names on them. She had such a way to make you feel special, thought of and cared for. I feel so blessed to have met her. She was only in our lives for a few short years but boy did she leave a mark!!! She was so thoughtful and selfless. Even in the midst of her own obstacles all she would be concerned with was what was going on with you. I could go on and on. She was such a wonderful person.
We never did get to have our tea on the porch... But save me a seat and a cup in heaven!

Pam and I have been friends, best friends, since we were 7 years old. Many a night spent together, going thru school together, keeping tabs on Brother and little Cindy. The last year's we would talk about every 3 or 4 months, but even though we didn't talk often, we knew each other was there for the other. I can't imagine I'm not going to hear that sweet voice again, at least not til we are together again in heaven. I will miss my dear friend more than I can say. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Gary, Emily, Brother and Cindy.
