Pamela Pamdora Mack

March 3, 1964 -January 22, 2006

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father … (James 1:17).

On March 3, 1964, Charles Mack and Sarah Ann Powell were blessed with a precious gift … Pamela Pamdora Mack, affectionately know as “Pam.”

As a young child, Pamela confessed Christ and joined West Trinity Baptist Church in Selma, Alabama.

Later, as an adult, she joined New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia where Bishop Eddie L. Long is the Senior Pastor,

Pam attended elementary/middle school partially in Germany.

She attended Junior and Senior High School in Omaha, Nebraska.

She completed her senior year at Selma High School. Pam is a member of the graduating class of 1981.

She completed her freshman year of college at Stillman University, Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

She received her Bachelor of Art Degree in communications from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Pam was a international Makeup Artist and Trainer for Fashion Fair Cosmetics. She received extensive cosmetic training and awards for her outstanding worth and artistry.

She worked in the industry for more than 15 years and her experience and knowledge went beyond the application of makeup.

Pam began her career with Fashion Fair as a Counter Manager.

Her background and excellent communication skills were invaluable and afforded her the opportunity to be promoted to Account Coordinator.

Pam did not only share her makeup techniques, but she used her professional sales and training experience to instruct Fashion Fair beauty consultants throughout the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.

In 1997, Pam was the makeup artist for Ebony-South Africa’s cover and feature story on South African celebrity, Mrs. Felecia Mabuza-Suttie.

She made numerous television appearances demonstrating her skills and makeup artistry in the promotion of Fashion Fair Cosmetics.

During a “Debut” in London, Pam was featured as International Makeup Artist/Trainer and Consultant.

She was featured at several of London’s prestigious department stores.

On many occasions, she was the personal make-up artist for Linda Johnson-Rice, President and CEO of Johnson Publishing Company.

“To God be the glory for the wondrous works He has done through His daughter, Pamela Pamdora Mack.”

On January 22, 2007, Pam whispered a prayer and said… For I am now ready to be offered, and time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day…(II Timothy 4:6-8).

At that moment, Pam fell asleep in the Lord and exchange life for her eternal home in glory.

She was preceded in death by her great grandmother, Mary Lee Cooper; her grandparents, Professor and Corine Powell and Rod and Hattie Mack.
