Pamela Kay Cole, of Sterling Heights, Michigan, entered eternal rest with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, on June 29, 2020, surrounded by her loving family and friends.

Pamela (affectionately known as Pam or Pammie) was born and raised in Akron, Ohio on June 29, 1959, to John Jr. and Gwendolyn Bryant.  Pam graduated from Akron East High School, class of 1977.  She attended Kent State University and then decided to pursue full-time employment. Pam worked several jobs over the course of her lifetime.  She started working at the sweet age of 16 at the A&P Grocery Store.  Pam was a dedicated employee, who worked in retail, radio, an intervention specialist, and the UAW.  She retired from Chrysler Twinsburg Stamping Plant after 15 years of service, at which time she moved to Michigan with her husband Randy.  Pam returned to Akron to continue her medical care and to be near family and friends.

Pam accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at First Apostolic Faith Church many years ago.  She attended Greater Grace Temple in Detroit, Michigan.  Pam loved the Lord and praised Him to the very end.  Her favorite scripture was John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Pam leaves to cherish her loving memory, devoted husband Randy Cole; parents, John Jr. and Gwendolyn Bryant; daughter, Lisa (Larry) Jacobs; son, John (Ciara) Morgan; daughters, Bethany (Sidney) Richards, Charity Cole (Michael), and Adrienne Cole; grandchildren, Tayia, Taylyn, Ethan, Messiah, Amiyah, Mariah, Savanah, Sidney III, Christopher, Cayden, and Derick; Pam is also survived by her sister Tracie (Cedric) Sommerville; brother, Ronnie Bryant; sister-in-law, Rema Cole; brothers-in-law, Trill Cole and Ray (Jackie) Cole;  and a host of nieces and nephews; special cousin, Sherrie Antoine; special friends, Michelle Bostick and Cynthia Forney; and a host of other relatives and friends.

For those of you that knew Pam, you knew that she was strong, tough, and courageous, even to the end.  She never gave up on her faith and she never gave up fighting. Her toughness and strength were admired by many.  Although strong and tough – Pam was kind, funny, and generous – and she would give you the shirt off her back.

Pam was a fashion icon who loved shopping and decorating. She was everyone’s personal stylist when they needed help.  She would smile and tell you what looked right and what did not. She would even help total strangers while in the stores shopping.  She loved helping others look and feel their absolute best. And even though Pam was ill, she would still take the time to pray for others in need.

We can all have confidence and comfort in this very thing: Pam fought the good fight of faith; she finished her race; her healing has come, and she is clothed in righteousness with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To God be the glory.
