Pamela Gayle Bolton, 70, of Center, passed away Monday, June 22, 2026, in Nacogdoches, TX. She was born August 23, 1955, to J.L. Emmons and Carolyn Sue Patterson Emmons.
Pam was the true definition of a fighter. She battled breast cancer and won but not without many tolls on her body during that time. Since then, she has battled many other medical issues but fought through as hard as she could. Now she is now rejoicing in the arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ, and those who she’s longed to see again. Though our hearts are heavy with our earthly loss, there is a peace in knowing that she is in her heavenly body in God’s beautiful kingdom.
She is survived by:
Loving husband of 51 years, Billy Ray Bolton of Center
Children:
Chris Bolton and wife Amber
Misty Wright and husband Chance
Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren:
Ashton Emmons (Carson, Bethany, and Ashlynn)
Kellie Morgan and husband Brandon (Mason, Macie, and Hudson)
Summer Mann

Rosalyn, Delylah, and Olivia Wright
She was preceded in death by parents, J.L. and Carolyn Emmons; grandmother, Beaulah B. Patterson; daughter, Katina Emmons; and brother, Rodney Emmons.
A memorial will be held at New Life Church in Center, TX on July 11, 2026, at 11am.
