Pavon was born in Gainesville, Georgia on December, 23 1947 to the late Samuel Ernest Dearman and the late Inez Pinson Money. After graduating from Cocoa Beach High School, she attended University of Georgia where she pursued her passion for teaching, obtaining her specialist degree in Education. Pavon taught for over 34 years, with the majority of her career being at Flowery Branch Elementary School where she retired in 2009. After retirement, she continued to share her knowledge by private tutoring.

What she treasured most in life was her family, friends, and her students. Above all, she valued the relationships she had with each and every person that was a part of her life. More than anything else, she loved being a mother, a grandmother, and a great grandmother.

The family would like to give a special thank you to her caregiver and friend, Jackie Dyer for the exceptional care and love that she provided to Pavon for the past several years.
