She was born June 27, 1949 to Patricia Carolyn Graham and Henry Curtis Plumly. Pam lived in Beaumont until 1962 when her family moved to Los Angeles, California. At the age of 16, Pam lost her mother suddenly and she and her two sisters were adopted by their Uncle William Edward Graham (Uncle Billy). Pam graduated from University High School in 1967 and Santa Monica College in 1970 with a nursing degree. Pam worked as a medical assistant with multiple private practices and was well loved by the doctors and patients alike. In December 1986, Pam gave birth to her daughter, Carolyn Elizabeth. In 1992, she met Bill Harris and were married in 1997. The family lived in Culver City, California until 1999 when they moved to Palm Desert, California. Pam was involved in her church, Saint Margaret’s Episcopal Church, where she was a wedding coordinator and worked with the youth groups. The family relocated to Spring, Texas in 2008 for her retirement. Pam loved to travel, with 6 cruises, two month long trips to Europe, and many trips through out the U.S. Pam was preceded in death by her mother, Carolyn (1965), her father, William E.
