Pamela Elizabeth Childs Leggett, 55, of Eight Mile, AL, gained her wings on April 11th, 2025. She passed away in Mobile, AL peacefully with her daughters, her grandchildren, and her dear friend and pastor at her side.
She was born to Larry and Sharon Childs on July 18th, 1969, and spent most of her young life growing up in Corpus Christie, TX. Pam decided to go back to school later in life and graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2011 with a master’s degree from Jackson State. While she went to school, she worked for Jackson Public Schools as a substitute teacher.
If you knew Pam, you know she had a huge heart for cats. She would have saved them all if she could. She loved her artwork and leaves behind many drawings and other things for her granddaughters to enjoy, including several books and her love of reading. Her daughters’ best memories of her included her dancing in the living room to any 1990s music. She now has her dancing shoes on dancing with Jesus.
Pam bravely battled through her difficult private struggles, with support of her church family and through accepting Christ as her savior. Though times weren’t always easy, she knew that she loved and cared for by those closest to her and showed tremendous strength to the very end.
Pam was preceded in death by her father, Larry Ceburn Childs of Corpus Christie, TX, her paternal grandparents, Frank Howard Childs and Elizabeth Dowelene Childs, and her maternal grandparents, Robert Louis Huguley, Sr. and Anna Gustave Huguley of El Paso, TX.
She is survived by her mother, Sharon Ann Huguley Childs, of Corpus Christie, TX, and her beloved daughters, Varissa Ann Brownell of Madison, MS and Caylinne Mar’rie Williams of Vicksburg, MS, also her grandchildren, Kayleigh Lynn Nevels, Adam Leon Brownell Jr., Alana Brownell, all of Madison, MS and Chloe Taylor Williams of Vicksburg, MS. Other survivors include various extended family in the state of Texas and her Pastor and friend, Libby Neal.
A memorial service for Pamela will be a small private gathering with the family at a later determined date. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in her name is greatly encouraged.
