Pamela Jo Holland Young

of Little Rock, AR

February 17, 1951 - January 9, 2021

Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

Pamela Jo Holland Young, 69, went to walk with Jesus and her dad on January 9, 2021. Pam was born on February 17, 1951 to William Francis & Joanne Bailey Holland. She was a retired school teacher and taught second grade at Abundant Life Schools for 34 years. Pam was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church in Little Rock, where she also attended and team taught The Encouragers Sunday school class for 25 years. One of her proudest and most humbling moments was being chosen to be a member of the latest pastor search team at Immanuel.

Pam was not fixed on things of this world but was fixed on Jesus. She loved Jesus, her family, her country, and teaching. Pam loved witnessing and reaching lost souls. She went on multiple international mission trips taking the gospel to spiritually dark areas in the world.

If you think Christians don't know how to have fun, then you didn't know her. She enjoyed spending time with family, taking cruises with her sisters, beach trips, and trips to Branson with extended family.Regardless if it was a washed-out float trip, camping, backpacking, traveling softball trip, Silver Dollar City, or even taking the grand dog (Deuce)out, Pam was going to have fun.

Predeceased by her father, Pam is survived by her mother; her husband, David Young; daughters, Tracy Anne Human, Courtney B. Young, Lyndsay J. Silver (Dan); sisters, Suzie Mitchell (David), Sandra Hunter (Eric); 4 grandchildren (Jacob Boley, Ricky, Ella, Dominic Silver, and Deuce, the furry grand dog); brother-in-law, Doug Young (Phyllis) and a host of nieces and nephews and their children. As well as, many other loving family members and friends.

Private family graveside service will take place at Bradford Cemetery. A celebration of Pam's life will be held at Immanuel Baptist Church (501 N. Shackelford Rd, Little Rock, AR 72211) on Friday January 15th at 10:30AM, with visitation at 9:30AM before the service.

In lieu of Flowers donations can be made in memory of Pam to the Generations Campaign or The Acts 1:8 mission fund at Immanuel Baptist Church.

Pam was a fixture in my childhood at Immanuel--especially in the summer whether it was Super Summer Fun or VBS. Her beauty, kindness and grace were unmatched (well maybe by her sister Suzie who was just as much a figure at those events). Then as Tracy grew up and Lindsey and Courtney joined the family, she was there at youth events as well. I cannot think about her without thinking about growing up at Immanuel. She will be missed.

Mrs Young was truly a beautiful person! She taught my son in the second grade at Abundant Life. He was lively to say the least! Yet, she handled him with such patience and gentleness. He bloomed under her guidance and left a life long impression on him. She taught me how to tap into his positive ,happy and smart personality and not stress over the little things. I was able to watch her influence many little lives over the years while I was working at the school! She was golden! Her love for each of them spilled over and affected them for a life time! What a blessing and privilege to have been called her friend! Can't wait to celebrate and dance on Golden Streets with her one day!

I will always remember Ms. Pam as one of our Dream Team moms. Tracy and I played softball together from the time we were 9 year old little girls until we were 14 year-olds who knew it all. Ms. Pam was a constant source of encouragement for all of us as she cheered us on from the stands or wore her Dream Team gear proudly at our awards ceremonies. She was a kind, warm, caring and gracious person who left everyone around her a little better than she found them. As a fellow teacher, I can only hope to inspire those within my sphere of influence the way Pam did. It's easy to see by reading the condolences here and on her Facebook page how many lives she truly touched in her time on earth. To Tracy and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you will miss her terribly but I hope you also realize that you carry her spirit with you always. My deepest sympathies, Jenna.

I know she is in Heaven and we will have even a larger family reunion there with Pam probably in charge of the fun! I love you all, Chloye

I was lucky enough to have Pam for my kindergarten and 2nd grade teacher, and many years later, my son would also have her as his 2nd grade teacher. We both agree she was our favorite teacher. Through the years, whenever I would run into her she always had a smile, hug and joy to give. We will always remember as we keep the family in our thoughts and prayers.

To think of or mention Pam’s name I think of beautiful smiles & kindness. Although our years of high school have come & gone, her sweet spirit lived on as evident at our reunions. Her gentle & loving ways glowed with everyone she met. This was evident by the love of her Lord whom she shared.
She never changed through the years, bright smiles, radiating love & joy, inclusiveness, all which drew others in.
Yes, her presence will be missed but her happiness just began.

Grief is the last act of love we can give those we loved. Where there is deep grief there was great love ❤️.

Remember why she was who she was...her love of the Lord.

So don’t cry because it’s over......
Smile because it (she) happened. Dr. Seuss

Pam has been a beacon of light, an untiring prayer warrior and an ardent encourager.
From the day we were baptized and joined Immanuel Baptist Church, she has been a beloved friend to me and my family. At all times she would share her faith with us and her love for Jesus gave us so much courage and inspiration, especially as new Christians.I and my family cherish the many times we have prayed together and her warm and unforgettable smile will be in our hearts. Pam never knew a stranger. Her stories from mission trips and evangelical work were truly inspiring. We will miss her very much. She is now in the presence of Him for Whom she lived.
