Funeral services for Pamela Ann Woods Womack, age 79, of Ruston, Louisiana, will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at Owens Memorial Chapel Funeral Home with Rev. David Griffen officiating. Burial will follow at Ansley Union Church Cemetery in Ansley, Louisiana, under the direction of Owens Memorial Chapel Funeral Home of Ruston.
Pam was born on June 25, 1946, in Hodge, Louisiana, to James Adrion and Charline Woods. In 1964, she met the love of her life, Donnie Womack. They married on August 14, 1965, and together built a life rooted in faith, family, and love. They were blessed with four children.
As a mother, Pam raised her children in the ways of the Lord, teaching them to love deeply, serve faithfully, and trust God in all things. Her faith was steady and sustaining throughout her life. One verse she held close was: “I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:1–2)
Today, she rests in the arms of her Savior, free from pain and sorrow, rejoicing in His presence.
While Pam loved being a mother, it was the title of “Granny” that she cherished most. Her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the many people she adopted along the way will remember Granny as someone who always provided a delicious dessert (Texas sheet cake being a favorite) a quick laugh, and warm socks fresh from the dryer.
Pam was preceded in death by her parents, James Adrion and Charline Woods, and her brother, Gary Lynn Woods.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 60 years, Donnie Womack; her children, Gregory Womack (Dawn), Lori Faile, Donna Sherman (Deron), and Daniel Womack; her grandchildren, Vincent Womack; Adreona Vallery (Tony); Amanda Eddlemon (Travis); Ansleigh Faulkner (Zachary); Carley Jones (Luke); Katelynn Sherman (Trent); Aaron Sherman (Hannah); Maddix, Asher, and Ethan Friedman; and Bridget Biron (Justin); her brothers, Martin Woods (Bonita) and Travis Woods (Lois); her sister, Leigh Willis; seven great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
Visitation will be held from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at Owens Memorial Chapel in Ruston.
Pallbearers will be her grandsons, Vincent Womack, Aaron Sherman, Maddix Friedman, Asher Friedman, and Ethan Friedman, and her nephews, Mark Woods and Jay Woods.
Honorary pallbearers will be Travis Eddlemon, Tony Vallery, Zach Faulkner, Luke Jones, Trent Pesnell, Justin Biron, and Dale Garner.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to her devoted caregiver, Michelle Faile, whose compassion, kindness, and genuine love were a tremendous blessing to Pam and to all who loved her.
