Pamela Everett Bratton, born October 14, 1953, in Vicksburg, Mississippi, passed away on June 7, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family in Monroe, Louisiana, where she had lived from a young age. She was the first of three children born to Harmon Giles Everett, Jr. and Billie Russell Everett.

Pam’s fondest childhood memories were made on her grandparents’, Mother Viv and Daddy Harmon, farm. There, she spent her days horseback riding, learning treasured homemade recipes, birdwatching, and visiting Aunt Grace and Uncle Fletcher’s general store in Port Gibson. Those early years shaped her lifelong love of family, nature, and the simple joys of life.

Pam’s exceptional intelligence was evident from a young age. In the sixth grade, she advanced ahead due to her academic abilities. Shortly after middle school, she met the love of her life, Larry. Their love story began early, and by the end of high school they were married. Together they built a beautiful life and were blessed with two daughters, Shea and Lindsay.

There truly wasn’t anything Pam couldn’t do. She had a remarkable gift for gardening and could grow just about anything. She lovingly prepared cherished family recipes, cared tenderly for animals and wildlife that crossed her path, and sewed everything from Halloween costumes to her sister’s wedding gown.

All the while, she pursued her education and proudly earned three college degrees.

In her professional life, Pam put her brilliant mind and determined spirit to work by spearheading the fundraising and opening of the Kitty Degree Breast Health Center. She was fiercely dedicated to ensuring that women had access to vital breast health services and spent countless hours advocating for and supporting her community. Her work leaves a lasting legacy of care and compassion.

Family was at the very center of Pam’s life. She loved deeply and devoted herself wholeheartedly to those she cherished most, including her four beloved grandchildren, Anna Claire, William, Vivian, and Philip, who brought her immeasurable joy.

Pam was preceded in death by her brother, Keats Everett; her parents, Harmon Giles Everett, Jr. and Billie Russell Everett; and her grandparents, Harmon Giles Everett, Sr. and Vivian Westerfield Everett.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Larry Bratton; her daughters, Shea Beard and husband Beau of Stow, Ohio, and Lindsay Mullins and husband Grey of Baton Rouge; her beloved grandchildren, Anna Claire Beard of Houston, Texas, and William Mullins, Vivian Mullins, and Philip Mullins of Baton Rouge; her sister and brother-in-law, Christy and Chuck Gwin; her sisters-in-law, Linda Bratton, Martha Bratton, and Bonnie Frasier; and numerous nieces and nephews who she loved dearly.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Pam’s wonderful caregivers—Stepheny Abasta, Amanda Brocato, and Robin Williams—as well as the many friends and family members who surrounded Pam with love and support during her final days.

Visitation will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, at Mulhearn Funeral Home, 2308 Sterlington Rd., Monroe, LA 71203. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Jesus the Good Shepherd on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., followed by burial of her cremains at Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery in Monroe.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association in Pam’s memory.

Pam will be remembered for her beauty, intelligence, strength, creativity, compassion, and unwavering love. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and the family she adored.
