Mrs. Nannen passed away Thursday, July 23, 2009, in Jacksonville.

She was a homemaker and a strong Christian woman who loved all people. She was always so involved in her children's lives from cheerleading, soccer, gymnastics, to project graduation. In the past months Pam has been molding and mosaicing Angel Wings that she would give to patients in need of a faithful touch. Here is her quote: "Perhaps strength doesn't reside in having never been broken, but in the courage to grow strong in the broken pieces. Broken pieces can be made into a beautiful Mosaic Masterpiece … or should I say "Master's Peace."

Survivors include husband Gary Nannen of Jacksonville; parents, Charles and Georgia Allen of Cedar Hill; son Josh Nannen of Austin; daughters, Stacy Nannen of Lubbock and Lindsay Marion of Dallas; brothers, Scott Allen of Collinsville and Jeff Allen of Cedar Hill; seven nephews; and one niece.

Pallbearers will be Greg Colvin, Robert Ray, Ronnie Rodgers, Cliff Perdue, D. C. Forry and Chris Lovelady.

Honorary pallbearer will be Jonathan Sanders.

The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, July 26, 2009, at Autry Funeral Home, Jacksonville.
