Pamela Ann Forck, 74, of Columbia, formerly of Jefferson City, passed away on March 21, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family, after a hard-fought battle with metastatic pancreatic cancer. She was born in Jefferson City on June 21, 1951 to George and Norma (Schneider) Rademan.

On May 27, 1972, Pamela married the love of her life, Emil Joseph Forck at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, Wardsville. Together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Pamela was a proud 1970 graduate of Blair Oaks High School and was among the first students to attend the school from its opening through graduation. She dedicated over 30 years of her career to the Missouri Department of Social Services, where she served with compassion and commitment before retiring.

She was an active member of the VFW Post 280 Auxiliary and a former member of the American Legion Post 6 Auxiliary and VFW Post 10227 Auxiliary. Pamela enjoyed life’s simple pleasures—going to the casino, fishing, playing shuffleboard, and especially taking bus trips with her husband. Above all, Pamela treasured her family. She loved her grandchildren deeply and took every opportunity to spend time with them, creating memories that will be cherished forever. Pamela will be remembered as a loving, caring, and passionate woman who poured her heart and soul into making the lives of those around her better.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Emil; her daughter, Marie (Bo); her beloved grandchildren, Autumn, Sunni, Ash, Marybelle, and Bastian; and her great-grandson, Da’siya. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother-in-law.

Visitation will be from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 26, 2026 at Trimble Funeral Homes, 3210 N. Ten Mile Dr., Jefferson City. Funeral services will begin at 10:00 a.m., Friday at the funeral home. Darryl Goudeau will officiate. Burial will be in Hawthorn Memorial Gardens. trimblefunerals.com

In lieu of flowers, it was Pamela’s wish that donations be made to her grandchildren in her memory.

Pamela’s love, strength, and kindness will live on in all who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
