We regretfully announce the passing of Pamela "Pam" Gardner, who gently departed this world on August 19, 2024. Born in 1952, Pam was a beloved by family and friends, known for her warmth, caring nature, and no-nonsense attitude.

Her spirit, epitomized by her 'give no crap/take no crap' philosophy, touched many lives. Highly compassionate, Pamela never met a kitty she didn't like, often  caring for ones in need. Her love for animals mirrored her deep affection for those around her.

Pamela leaves behind an enduring legacy of love, enriched by her beloved partner, Thyra Bauman, with whom she shared 36 happy years together. She is also survived by her brothers, Mike, Jay, and Jeff Gardner, her sister Beth Winchell, and her stepsons Jordan Bauman, Paul Bostwick, and James Bostwick, assorted nieces, nephews, and grandkids. Her family, friends, and assorted furry persons  brought  love and happiness to her life.

Her journey to the next adventure will see her reunited with her late parents, Wendell Gardner and Betty Gardner Winschell, her brothers, Barry, Terry, and Paul Gardner, and all the kitties waiting at the end of The Rainbow Bridge for her. Their memory lived on in Pam, as will hers in our hearts.

A lover of the fantastical and whimsical realms of fiction, Pamela delighted in the Dragon Riders of Pern series and indulged in her passion for Godzilla movies and classic sci-fi. She loved  anything to do with rocks, and would show them to you at the drop of a hat.

Pam loved her kitties and wanted all of them to be happy and cared for.

Through our memories, Pam's light and laughter will continue. We can find comfort in knowing she lived a full  life, brimming with love and passion for the things and beings she cared about.

Instead of flowers which fade away, please consider donating to your local cat rescue organization. which will make a enduring difference in the lives of her beloved kitties.
