Pamela Ruthanne Dinwiddie

 

Pamela Ruthanne Dinwiddie sadly passed from this life on August 19, 2024 leaving behind Steve, her husband of 22 years, the love of her life. She will be greatly missed by her children Tawnee Morang (Greg) and Jason Todd (Joanie), her grandchildren Ariella, Jasmine, and Skyler, and great granddaughters Sophia and Annukka. Pam will be forever remembered with love by her mother, Arleen Funk, and her sisters Kristy Blye (John) and Dorri Lockard (Dirk).

Pam was born on April 16, 1949 in Everett, Washington where she spent her childhood. In her teens, Pam developed a love for theater. At Cascade High (class of 67) and Everett Community College, she was involved in all aspects of theater but especially acting.

Although Pam lived from 1972-2001 in Louisiana, Washington was always home. Returning here in 2001, she spent the happiest years of her life with her beloved Steve. They vacationed many times over the years along the Washington and Oregon coasts. The beach was always Pam’s happy place.

There will be no memorial service. Instead, in Pam’s memory, treat yourself to a wonderful meal at a favorite restaurant or perhaps a long walk on a beautiful beach.

    Pam has been on my mind so much, even in my dreams. Random things will bring her to mind, like having chicken fried steak for breakfast. She is gone way too soon

    Pam lived in Baton Rouge for 29 years before we got together. It was a big part of her life, and she made some very good friends with co-workers while she was there.

    When I was 11 or 12, Pam came and stayed with us after she had spent some time in NYC and she was so fabulously dramatic with her stories of the city and her dream of acting. She could cry with such feeling, running her makeup down her cheeks. I was so fascinated with my beloved cousin. RIP darling Pam.

    Pam embodied live, laugh, love. As part of the April birthday club, we have celebrated many years together. I am grateful for the time I had with her- cheers, Pam! We love you!
