Pamela Craig Sims
Mrs. Pamela Craig Sims, 74, of Tazewell, GA, passed away on Thursday, June 15, 
2023, at her residence. A graveside funeral service will be held at 2:00PM on 
Saturday, June 17, 2023, at Tazewell Cemetery with Rev. Mike Truitt officiating. 
The family will greet friends after the service. Serving as pallbearers will be 
her nephews, Terry Whaley, Joey Turner, Craig Davis, Devin Ray, Hunter Jordan, 
and Lucas Taylor. Honorary pallbearers will be Saige Whaley, Landry Whaley, 
Carlee Jordan, Braxton Chiavetta and Remington Blake.

Mrs. Sims was born in Clayton, GA, on June 20, 1948, to James W. and Betty Jean 
Icard Craig. Before her retirement, she worked in shipping and receiving with 
the Department of Juvenile Justice. Baptist by faith, she was an integral member 
of Tazewell Baptist Church. Mrs. Sims was a pillar and lifelong member of the 
Tazewell community. Her loss will be felt in the community for a long time. Mrs. 
Sims helped with all of the Tazewell community events.  From BBQ sales for the 
Fire Department and Cemetery to fundraisers for the old school house, Pam was 
always involved. She loved to spoil children and cut grass and could often be 
found cutting the grass in her neighbor’s yards whether they asked her to or 
not. She took care of the Tazewell cemetery and kept the grass cut there as 
well. She was surrounded by family during the last week and she made sure they 
knew to go make sure the cemetery was ready for her arrival. She was a survivor. 
Over the years, she had survived several life threatening illnesses including a 
kidney transplant in 2009. Mrs. Sims had a business mind that would match any 
Wall Street executive. She loved her family and helped take care of them. She 
would do anything for her family. Mrs. Sims enjoyed fishing, cooking, and 
especially talking on the phone.  She was preceded in death by her parents.

Mrs. Sims is survived by her husband of 29 years, Larry Sims of Tazewell, GA; by 
three step-children, Nikki and Blake Turner, Andy Sims and John Sims, all of 
Dadeville, AL; by a brother, Wayne and Cheryl Ray of Tazewell, GA; by four 
sisters, Uvalyne and Ray Smith of Macon, GA, Rosalind Whaley of Tazewell, GA, 
Charlene Turner of Ideal, GA, and Carol Streeter of Tazewell, GA; her nieces and 
nephews, Angie and Daryl Cohen, Barbara and Matt Gilbert, Fawn and Herb 
McMillan, Terry Whaley, Stacie Taylor, Joey and Mary Margaret Turner, Carrie and 
Robbie Jordan, Craig Davis, and Devin Ray; numerous great nieces and nephews 
also survive.

Memorials may be made to Tazewell Baptist Church.

Way-Watson Funeral Home of Buena Vista, GA, has been entrusted with the 
arrangements.
