Pamela Sue Baker

Pam Fuller Baker (1961-2017), passed away Friday, December 1, 2017. She was a 1979 Clintwood High School graduate and was a student of Lincoln Memorial University. She was a mother of two. She was simply beautiful. She loved with a love that was one of a kind. She was a happy, sweet, and an amazing soul. There is nothing in this world that makes you feel the way the hugs, kisses, and the words I love you make you feel when they come from your mother. My beautiful mother has made her journey to the other side. We were so much alike. She was a humble person who wanted nothing more than to see other people happy. She made sure to make someone have a smile on their face. My mother was also a very sad, lonely and lost little woman. She was searching for answers my entire life. She had the kindest heart of anyone I’ve ever met. I too feel it is my duty here on Earth to bring out the best in people. To show love, kindess, and forgiveness. To make people laugh and realize there is nothing to worry about if you have a friend. My mother and I never met a stranger. We love everyone. She gave that gift to me. Her big heart often times got her into trouble the same as mine does for me although we wouldn’t trade it for anything. When I went to see her, I found her in a way I had never seen before. That morning was the end. It was the last time. I’ll never see her again. However, I hope for her to visit me in my dreams. She was one of the best friends I’ve ever had. She liked Rock n’ Roll, motorcycles, and a good time. She was one of the gang. She faced battles in life. She won some and she lost some. My mother had an addictive personality. Like I said, she was a lost little woman. Addiction is a powerful thing. It stole time away from our relationship. It stole time away from everyone that knew and loved her. Addiction took her life. Love the ones you love like there’s no tomorrow because we are never promised to see another day. My sweet mama is gone. It breaks my heart to let her go. She was one of the good ones., I sure am going to miss her. She loved me to no end. She loved everyone. She was preceded in death by her mother, Loretta Baker of Clintwood, Virginia her father, Carter Fuller of Haysi, Virginia; and her sister, Tammy Fuller of Greenville, South Carolina. She is survived by her son, Steven Baker and best friend, Geena Phipps of Clintwood, Virginia; her daughter, Whitney Estep Gilliam of Big Stone Gap, Virginia; her brother, Eddie Fuller of Haysi, Virginia; her nieces, Chastity Anderson Arden, Christy Anderson Reis, Nicki Stanley, Wendy Stanley, all of Greenville, South Carolina and Jacki Stanley Fish of Asheville, North Carolina; and several great nieces and nephews.
