Life Reflections

Pamela Elaine (Seals) McDonald was born March 30, 1959 to Lee and Joan Seals in Waco, Texas. She was the fourth of five children and the “Baby Girl” of them all. Pam was baptized and saved at an early age. She was a faithful member of St. James United Methodist Church until the doors of the church closed.  Pam attended Richfield High School and graduated class of 1977. She was employed at Waco Center for Youth for many years until she retired to help take care of her aging and ailing parents. While working there she was blessed with her “1st work” family whom she loved and they in return loved her as well. Through the good and the bad they had each other’s back until the end they all stood together hand in hand.  She then worked as a home care aide for many more years until her health became a barrier. From this employment she gained her “2nd work” family. She was a beautiful person inside and out and rarely met a stranger. If she met a stranger they wouldn’t be that for long because she had a way of smiling and talking that would soothe the savage in anyone. She was a praying woman and her life showed the goodness and grace of God. She made sure she instilled her ethics on her family and her friends, she loved life and life loved her.  Her family was her world and she was theirs. She tried to make every birth, every birthday, every school program, every game, and every concert of her grandchildren. The school and daycare staff knew her more than the parents themselves. She was involved and made sure she showed her love through her words and her actions. There was no doubt if she was there because she was in the crowd rooting and clapping loudly for her babies. Pam loved to cook, shop, help others, and spend as much time as she could with her family. She walked by faith, and grace brought her through all her trials and tribulations.

On Monday December 28, 2020 in the comfort of her home, she heard The Master’s Voice to come and join Him and she obeyed His words as always. She now has an everlasting peace. She has finally been reunited with her parents, Lee and Joan Seals; her grandparents, Harril and Mildred Seals, Bessie Williams, Amy and Leonard Jackson and others.

Those left to carry on her legacy: sister, Debra Seals; brothers, Mark Anthony Seals Sr., Dwight Seals (Valerie), Danny Seals Sr. ( Mary); children, Tamara Williams(Marcus) and Chester B. McDonald Sr. (Shyquita); grandchildren, Allondrisha, X’Zavier, Maygan,Tycianna,Chester III, Sha’ondria, LeeMarion, Lillian, Jaylin and Talajzia. Great grandchildren Zaidyn and Londyn; a host of dedicated aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
