Obituary of Pamela Denise "Pam" Linville

Pamela Denise “Pam” Linville, 72, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, February 12, 2024.  Pam was born in Forsyth County on January 30, 1952, to the late Phyllis Dean Joyce and step-father, the late Raymond Carroll Joyce. Pam was raised by her beloved grandparents, the late Lawrence Winfred Dean and Eva Harrison Dean.

Pam was a life-long resident of Kernersville and worked in several prominent Kernersville businesses during her working career including Suzie’s Diner, Scotty Drugs and Stonestreet Drugs.  She went on to serve as a corporate sales representative for Cingular Wireless  and even opened a restaurant in downtown Kernersville known as Logan’s Carolina Café.  Pam finished her working career as a branch manager for Allegacy Credit Union.

Pam was a fiercely loving and devoted mother and grandmother, always putting the needs of her children and grandchildren above her own.  She had a generous heart and a passion for helping others, especially children and animals.

In Pam’s retirement years she enjoyed spending lots of time with her family, constantly doting on her grandsons and spoiling her beloved dog, Maryjane.  She had a wide range of creative hobbies and always enjoyed the challenge of trying something new and making beautiful things.

In addition to her parents and grandparents, Pam was greeted at Heaven’s Gate by her sister, Cynthia Joyce Martin and sister, Teresa Joyce Tucker.  Being reunited with her loved ones and to finally be in the presence of her Lord and Savior was surely the most joyous day.

Pam is survived by her son, Keith Alan Coleman (Christina) of Walnut Cove; daughter, Dena Barber Williams (Brian) of Kernersville; sister, Angela Joyce Poitras (Eric) of Riverview, Fl.; three grandsons, Logan, Dustin, and Kellan; one great granddaughter; and many nieces and nephews.

Pam will be greatly missed by her children, grandchildren and all those that knew and loved her.
