Obituary for PAMELA M. BROOME
Pamela Maria Broome was born on October 25, 1963, in Calvert County, Maryland. She was the fourth of five children born to William and Eliza Gantt. Pamela lost a courageous battle with cancer and slipped peacefully into eternal rest on December 21, 2011. Pamela began her early Christian education at Brooks United Methodist Church, under the leadership of the late Reverend Joseph Collins. She later became a member of Healing and Deliverance Church of the Holy Spirit under the leadership of Pastor Aniachi Be’lu-John. Pamela was educated in the public schools of Calvert County, Maryland. She was employed at The House of Grace in Bowie, Maryland as a Private Duty Caregiver until her health failed. Pamela provided care and unconditional love to everyone she worked with. She had one of the most beautiful smiles and a pleasant personality. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends doing some of her favorite things; playing cards, watching her favorite football team “Dallas Cowboys”, but most of all she recently gained an interest in watching WWF (World Wrestling Federation) along with her parents. If you knew her, you could only imagine what that was like. Pamela honestly enjoyed life. Her favorite saying was “I got a life to live” and she lived it. Growing up she was known by her siblings and close cousins as “cry baby”. It wasn’t unusual for Pam to be seen crying while watching Charlie Brown cartoons. She would say (between sniffles) “They know they don’t have to treat Charlie Brown that way”. Pamela never liked seeing people sad or hurting in any way. On August 2, 1986 Pamela was united in marriage to Ralph Antonio Broome Sr. and from this union four children were born. She leaves to cherish her fond memories, her parents William and Eliza; father-in-law Asia Broome; four children, Ralph Jr., Ral’nisha, Ju’shaun and Ju’vawn; three sisters, Janet, Audrey, and Sherrylynn; one brother, Antonio “Tony”; five brothers-in-law, Asia “Mark”, Leonard, Jerome, Thomas (Leslie) and Scott (Janice); one sister-in-law, Lynette Savoy; five grandchildren, Iyanna, Zayne, Ra-Jon, Janyla and Andrew; six aunts, Mamie Jones (Herbert), Susie Johnson; Annie Reddic; Helen Gantt; Amelia Johnson; Gladys Gantt; two uncles, Thomas Johnson (Lois Jean), George Gantt (Joanie); one great aunt, Mary Bourne; two great uncles Thomas Gray, and Harry Gray (Christine). Pamela had two cousins she held dear to her heart, James “Jim” Gray and Dwan “Terp” Johnson Sr., a special friend Gerald Jacks and a host of nieces, nephew, other relatives and friends.
