Pamela Ruth Henry

Pamela Ruth Henry was born August 19, 1950, in Oklahoma City, OK, to Ruth and Ingram Henry, Jr. At 14 months of age, Pam contracted polio and later became the last Poster Child for the March of Dimes. Despite her diagnosis, she never allowed it to deter ambition. In October 1972, she became the first female reporter for WKY-TV Oklahoma City. Pam spent 30 years in broadcast news and politics. In 2002, due to health concerns, Pam retired from her accomplished career in broadcasting and quickly became engaged in advocacy for the advancement of causes supporting the disabled. Pam is preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Bob Henry. She is survived by sister-in-law Judy Henry; niece Staci Stover and her husband and two children, Rhett, Seldon and Chiles, and numerous extended family. Family and friends are invited to attend a public viewing scheduled Sunday, September 30, from 2pm-5pm at Smith & Kernke Funeral Home on North May in Oklahoma City. Graveside services will be held at 11am on Monday, October 1, at Rose Hill Cemetery in Ardmore, Oklahoma. In lieu of flowers, donations are requested to be made to the Goodwill Industries of Central Oklahoma or a favorite charity supporting advancement for those with disabilities.
