LOVE IS WHAT LASTS
Our beloved wife, mother, daughter and twin sister started her next journey in passing, surrounded by those she loved.
As heaven rejoices, we are comforted by memories of her amazing life.
Pam was a true “force of nature” who brought so much joy to this world.
She lived by her mantra, “no whining!”
and always focused on the positive.
Pam was born in Oceanside, California on Camp Pendleton Marine Corp Base to Dean and Loretta Lydig.
Pammy grew up in Spokane, Washington with her twin sister Linda.
She graduated from EWU in 1980, receiving a B.S.
and Dental Hygiene Degree; the start of a 32 year career.
The LOVE of her life was husband Ron and she was his darling.
Her greatest JOY was raising her daughter, Heather.
Her best friend was twin sis, Linda.
Dr. Robert B. Stephan was her beloved “brother by marriage.
“
Pam excelled at everything she did.
She was a tremendous athlete who enjoyed running, skiing, biking, hiking, kayaking and all things of nature.
She was a skilled artist, fantastic cook, homemaker and hostess.
Anything she touched she made better.
Pam was a generous, caring person with great moral courage and strength, but also humble and self effacing.
She was beautiful both inside and out.
Pam was a tireless “worker bee” who served others.
Her love of animals, especially dogs and horses, shaped our lives.
As she “rides into her last sunset,” we are left with such loving, happy memories.
Pam’s not waving “goodbye,” she’s blazing the trail.
Pam leaves behind her new son-in-law, Shawn O’Dwyer, and his wonderful family, as well as Mrs. Virginia Stephan, and many aunts , uncles, cousins, friends and patients.
She requested no memorial service.
Those who wish may donate in Pam’s name, to any organization that protects and cares for animals.
SOMETIMES
Sometimes it’s only the lilt of a song
That brings you back to me.
Sometimes, down in the heart of a flower,
It is your face I see.
Sometimes, the smile of the lifting morn
Is all your smiling, too.
Everything glad in the whole wide world
Seems just a touch of you.
When you find yourself in a beautiful place, think of Pam and greet the world with a smile.
Condolences may be sent to the family at
PO BOX 294, Colbert, WA 99005.
