Pamela Kay Cole

Pamela Cole, 64, of Modesto, CA went lovingly into the arms of Jesus on June 3, 2018. She was born in Modesto, CA on March 17, 1954 to Eulys and Bessie Morgan. She graduated from Downey High School in 1972 and shortly after married her high school sweetheart, Rodger Cole. She was given her heart’s desire, to stay home and raise their 2 children, Tracey and Scotty. After being the caretaker for her mother, she returned to school in her thirties where she graduated from CSU Stanislaus with a degree in Liberal Studies and went on to obtain her dream job of being an elementary school teacher. She spent the last 23 years teaching at Colony Oak in Ripon, CA. She loved being in her classroom, teaching students to do and be their best, and making everyone feel special. When she was not teaching students, she loved spending time with her grandchildren, which she adored; Brianna (22), Brison (18), Tanner (12) and Sierra (9). Pam is survived by her husband, Rodger, her daughter Tracey (Brian) Benton, son Scott (Christine) and grandchildren, Brianna and Brison Benton and Tanner and Sierra Cole. A Celebration of Life will be held at New Life Christian Center at 2918 W. Tuolumne Rd, Turlock CA on Saturday, June 9th at 12:00 pm with a reception following.
