Pamela Diane Duke Hughes

Pam Hughes was one-of-a-kind. She was a truly unique and artistic individual who always thought outside the box. She was a loving and compassionate soul with a witty sense of humor. She loved her family fiercely and spent a lot of time over the years at the ball field or courts supporting her kids and grandchildren. After receiving a Bachelor's Degree in Art from the University of North Alabama (fnoerly known as Florence State University), Pam moved to Chattanooga to be a map maker for TVA. She also worked in commercial art and screen printing. Her creativity and talent can be seen in the gourds and eggs she painted as a hobby. She loved sarcasm, reading, chocolate, sudoku, animals, and she adored the pets she has had over the years. She will be truly missed by those who loved her and she leaves a legacy for those who knew her incredible talents.

Pam is preceded in death by her parents Ruby and Bernice Duke; brother, David Duke; sister-in-law, Martha Hughes; brother-in-law Ron Close; and nephew Greg Donsbach. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 52 years, Larry Hughes; her two children Stacy Britt and Sam Hughes (wife, Lauren); three grandchildren, Carter, Campbell, and Luke; her sister Ina Donsbach (husband, Frank); brother-in-law, Deaurhan Hughes; sister-in-law Beth Holden; and nieces and nephews Jody, Ashley, Jeremy, Alex, Dana, and Monica.

Following Pam's wishes a Celebration of Life will be held at Larry and Pam's house on Friday November 27th from 11-2pm.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to your local animal shelter.
