An angel lived among us, A gift from God above. She showered us with kindness And shared with us her love. She cherished every moment With the man who was her life; Walking hand in hand together, Facing life with all its strife. She loved her children dearly, Each one a different way, Nestled close within her heart. Though, now, she’s far away. She’s gone to live with Jesus. But, she’s here with us today, Smiling down on every one of us, And telling us she’s okay.

Pamela Ann Martin, 65, a beloved mother, daughter, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away suddenly on January 30, 2024.  Born on April 9, 1958, in Gulfport, Mississippi, she brought joy and light into the lives of all who knew her.

Pamela worked as a 411 Operator for Southern Bell Telephone Company in Gulfport, Mississippi, in 1984.  In 1985, she transferred to AT&T as a Long Distance Operator in Atlanta, Georgia, and transferred to Jacksonville, Florida, where she later retired in 2009.  She returned to Gulfport, Mississippi in 2019, where she was a dedicated member of St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church.

Pamela touched the lives of many with her warm smile and genuine care for others.  She was a loving mother and grandmother, who was full of life.  Pamela loved cooking for her family and decorating.  Her compassionate nature extended beyond her family, as she always showed kindness to everyone she encountered.

A fashionable and talented individual, Pamela had a passion for cosmetology and sought to be a hair stylist.  Whether she was decorating or cooking, she poured her heart into everything she did.  One of Pamela's exceptional gifts was her beautiful singing voice that never failed to captivate those fortunate enough to hear it.

Pamela was preceded in death by parents, Walter and Laval Martin; brothers: Vandyke, Miller, Linzs Miller, and Aaron Martin; sister, Quanda Miller; and grandmother, Matilda Thomas.

Pamela had an immense love for family and friends, who meant the world to her.  Among those who mourn her are a son, Andre Dawson; grandchildren: Camryn, Kai, Christian, Kayden, and Cobi Dawson; brother, Michael Martin; sister, Marsha Smith; as well as a host of other relatives and close friends.

Pamela will be sorely missed by all those whose lives she touched.  Her legacy of love, kindness, and compassion will forever live on in the hearts of her family and friends.  As we say our final goodbyes, let us remember the light she brought into our lives and carry it forward in her honor.  May her soul find eternal solace in the embrace of heaven's angels. “He Gives Strength to The Weary and Increases the Power of The Weak.” Isaiah 40:2

On Friday, January 12, 2024, Yvonne Louise Fields peacefully left this world with the family she loved at her side. She was born March 1, 1931, to the late Arthur and Selina Salvant Henry in Pass Christian, Mississippi. The third child of seven, she was given the nickname “Tady” by her older twin sisters, Delores and Frances because she always carried her teddy bear around.

She attended Randolph High School where she was a member of the Girls Varsity Basketball team and graduated in May 1950 as the Salutatorian in her class.

While her husband continued his military career, she spent her time helping her nieces and nephews with starting school. In 1953 her passion for cosmetology led her to attend the Andrews Cosmetology School. When she passed her state board in Jackson, MS, her dad built her a place to service her clients from 8AM – 8PM daily except on Sundays when she attended mass. She worked for Pass Christian Garment Industries for a number of years and later under the encouragement of her friend Myrtle Antoine Ashley, applied and was hired on as a school crossing guard for the city of Pass Christian for 10 years. Her hobbies were playing the keyboard, sewing and dancing. She was a true servant to the people and very giving of her time without any expectations in return. Delivering food and gifts to the elderly, taking the sick to doctors’ appointments, visiting nursing homes, helping with repast, shuttling neighborhood children and caring for her grand and great-grandchildren were some of the things she was known for. She was also the caretaker for her mother Selina and brother Donald (Sing) for many years.

As a dedicated member of Our Mother Mercy Catholic Church, she sang in the adult choir and served as musician for them briefly, helped with the children’s First Communion classes, devoted her time to the bazaars and was a faithful member of the Knights of St. Peter Claver Ladies Auxiliary Court 26 for over 50 years.

She was preceded in death by her parents Arthur and Selina Salvant Henry; her husband, Curtis J Fields Sr.; three brothers, Christopher Henry, Clayton Henry and Donald Henry; and twin sisters, Frances Henry and Delores Lawson.

On September 11, 1989, Brian Dion Easley, Sr. was born from the union of Erica Hollins and George Easley, Jr. in Los Angeles, California. Brian was educated in the Bay-Waveland school district and graduated from Bay High School in 2008. He had a range of talents and hobbies which included cooking, drawing, dancing and playing basketball. From a very young age, Brian’s been a huge Star Wars enthusiast, evident by his large collection of Star Wars memorabilia. His Star Wars collection wasn’t the only large thing Brian possessed. If you were ever graced by his presence, you will have witnessed that infectious laugh and big, unforgettable smile!

Brian began showcasing his basketball talents on the court in elementary school. He later became affectionately known to many as “6’9” or “6”; a name given to him during his younger years on the courts where he played at the VCJ by Coach Eric Nichols, aka “Bottoe”. Brian was a devoted player of the Bay High Tigers basketball team where he was greatly inspired by Coach Kelton Thompson, and he continued during his college years at Pearl River Community College.

Brian enjoyed eating as much as he enjoyed cooking! Employed at the Silver Slipper Casino in Bay St. Louis for 14 years, his passion for cooking led to a promotion as Sous Chef.

Son, Brother, Uncle, Companion, Friend. Brian was many things in his short time with us. His greatest, perhaps; was Father.

His children were the light of his life. The light in his life. It’s been said he was a “real daddy, real love…completeness”. He was amazing. We were all lucky and better for knowing him.

Brian departed this world on October 26, 2023, at the age of 34. Preceding him in death were his grandfathers: Daniels Hollins and George Easley, Sr.

Left to cherish his memory: his mother, Erica Hollins; father, George W. (Nancy) Easley, Jr., daughter, Emilee (Crystal) Easley; son, Brian Easley, Jr., (Megan; Nevaeh, Gia and Jaydis Jackson); two brothers: George W. Easley III, and Courtney (Stefanie) Easley; two sisters: Juanita Easley and Whitney Easley; godmother, Taaya Dawson; six Nieces and six Nephews and hosts of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends.

Forever Remembered, Forever Missed. Revelation 21:4

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
