Pamela Beth Helbert (Pam), 65 years old, of Coeburn, Virginia, passed away on August 25th, 2025, at Holston Valley Medical Center surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Virginia to Elizabeth Dorris and Preston Salyer.

Pam lived a life full of love, joy, and unwavering devotion to her family. As a homemaker, she created a warm and nurturing environment for her beloved husband, Arthur Helbert, whom she met shortly after high school and cherished as her lifelong companion. Together, they built a family filled with love. Pamela was a proud mother to her daughters, Beth Hubbard and Bailey Bloomer, and her greatest joy came from being a grandmother, or "Gigi," to her two grandsons, Hudson and Rowen Hubbard. Her love for them knew no bounds, and she took immense pride in being an active part of their lives, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Pam graduated from Coeburn High School in Virginia, where she was known not only for her academic accomplishments but also for her role as drum majorette of the marching band, alongside some of her dearest friends. Pamela's home was a reflection of her warm and loving heart, always welcoming and beautifully decorated. Her Christmas traditions were especially cherished, as she put so much care and love into making the holidays magical for those around her.

Above all, Pam believed that family was everything. She was a constant source of strength and love, offering a listening ear, a comforting embrace, and a guiding hand. Pamela's legacy is one of love, kindness, and dedication, values she passed down to her children and grandchildren. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all who were blessed to know her.
