Pamela Maedyne Mayberry was born on April 9, 1952 in Tulsa, Oklahoma to L.D. Mayberry and Rubye Kelley Henderson.  Pamela accepted Christ at an early age and has been a member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church since her youth.

Pamela attended Tulsa Public Schools graduating form the illustrious Booker T. Washington High School Class of 1970. She was blessed to attend various undergraduate school, but her love was HBCU Talladega in Talladega, Alabama.  There she proudly pledged Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Pamela received her master's in education at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.  She then went on to pursue her career by changing the lives of thousands of students she taught and served. She worked in the Tulsa Public School and Dallas Fort Worth School Districts for Forty plus years before retiring in 2016.

While married to Milton Dean they were blessed with two children; Milton III and Jarred "J.R." Dean. She is remembered by many as Ms. Dean or Coach Dean as she helped kids to excel in basketball, volleyball, softball, track and quiz bowl.

While coaching she met and later married Larry Darnell Harris.  They loved each other dearly and shared a bond like no other, which lasted Twenty-Three Years.

If you knew Pam you know what her favorite was. However, she really enjoyed spoiling her two grandsons.  Friends and family will miss her non chalant attitude and catch phrase…

She was preceded in death by the following her parents; Son J.R., sister Audrey, and brother John.

I leave you to cherish my memories: my wonderful husband Larry, son Milton (Markeesha), grandsons JaVaughn and Savion, a special God sister Charlene Bridges, one brother David Mayberry, sister Dorothy Grundy (Clearview, OK.) a host of nieces, nephews, in-laws, relatives and friends.
