It is with great love and deep gratitude that we must announce the passing into the arms of her eternal Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Born July 5, 1966, Pam grew up in Hartselle, AL. After graduating Hartselle High School, she obtained a B.S. in Math from Birmingham Southern College and an Engineering Degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She then obtained her Juris Doctorate from Cumberland Law School. Her law career was marked with an unmatched work-ethic and determination to serve her clients and their needs as though they were her own. She owned her own firm, but in 2012 she became a partner in Alabama’s oldest continuously operating firm Hill Hill Carter in Montgomery.
Pam was also an accomplished snow-boarder, lover of rowing and dragon-boat racing, a graduate of the Porsche Track Experience Driving School, and was a PADI qualified scuba-diver.
Pam loved her Catholic Faith. The highlight of her week was playing the organ or the piano for the Sacred Heart Elementary School Mass, and the children adored her. She also was a huge proponent of First Source for Women – a local pro-life ministry.
Pamela is survived by her husband Matthew D. Shaddrix of Cullman, her mother and step-father – Bonnie and Derwin Teichmiller of Hartselle, father & step-mother – Paul and Joyce Beard of Hartselle, brother Ross P. Beard, niece Chrystalynn Beard, niece Chandler Vicars and husband Will, nephew Cheston Beard and wife Libby and their precious daughter Maude Anna.
A Visitation and Rosary will be held at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Cullman, AL on Thursday October 2, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Her Funeral Mass will be held Friday, October 3, 2025, at 10 a.m. with interment to follow at the Catholic Cemetery on 8th Street S.E.
