Early Thursday morning, February 11, 2021 Heaven opened its doors wide to welcome a new angel to her eternal home. Pam Harlan Riggs no longer has the pain of fighting multiple myeloma cancer. She is welcomed by those who preceded her in death, including son Jeffrey Harlan Riggs and, parents, William Andrew Harlan and, Clara Wanna Markham Harlan. Pam leaves her beloved husband of 54 years Larry Taylor Riggs, brother Charles “Newt Harlan, Humble, TX, sister Linda Gayle Dabill, Naples, FL and numerous nieces and nephew spread throughout the country.

Pam was born in Houston, TX on October 23, 1945, but spent her childhood in Humble, TX. She graduated from Humble High School in 1964 where she was head cheerleader and football homecoming queen. She received her Bachelor of Science from Sam Houston State University 1968.

Pam loved cooking, golf, travel and her many canine pets too numerous to list, but none more than the current MacGyver and Jack Flynn.

Her family has so many to thank who assisted in

Pam’s brave 8-year fight with Multiple Myeloma who we grew to love like family; Dr. Kelty Ruth Baker and her staff, the many personnel with Houston Methodist Hospital’s Walter Tower OPC Infusion, staff HMH at OPC and her wonderful Hospice nurse, Katie Walker.

As a result of the Covid-19 situation a Celebration of Life will be planned in the spring of the year. Those that would like to donate in Pam’s name, please do so with the American Cancer Society or the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.
