Pamela Byer, age 66, of Plano Texas, passed away unexpectedly on March 3rd, 2017.
Pamela was born in June of 1950 in Watertown, South Dakota, as the second child of Vincent and DeEtte (Sexton) Byer. After high school, she attended and successfully graduated from the South Dakota State University in Brookings, South Dakota with a bachelor’s degree. She then earned her master’s degree from the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas.
Pamela lived and worked in the Dallas area for over thirty years, and was employed by several technological and computer firms including Convex and most recently, Hewlett-Packard, where she worked for the last twenty plus years.
Pam was a generous, kind and thoughtful soul, who was exceptionally loyal to and supportive of her numerous friends, many of whom she has known and cherished since her first days in the Dallas area. She was an avid reader, treasured time with friends, she enjoyed nature, bicycling, taking walks and simply relaxing on her patio with a cup of coffee and a good book.
She was a loving, compassionate daughter, continually caring about and assisting her mother who has now since passed away. Similar to her mother, Pam was sincere, honorable, and extremely hardworking, who cherished her independence and was proud to have successfully made her own way in life.
As a sister, Pam was compassionate, supportive and was always there to lend a helping hand, a sympathetic ear, or a shoulder to cry upon when the need arose, and would challenge her siblings to be their best, simply by leading by example.
“Auntie Pam” as she was lovingly referred to by her nieces and nephews, was a loving and devoted aunt, who left an indelible impression upon them by her random acts of kindness, her infectious laughter, the entertaining stories she told, and the unique and thoughtful gifts she periodically bestowed upon them.
Pam will be dearly missed, but will never be forgotten by her loving family and loyal friends, who will cherish the memories and precious time we all shared with this kind and gentle soul.
Pam is survived by her sister Barbara Goins of State College Pennsylvania, and her brother Steven Byer of Aurora Colorado, and their families.
No ceremony is currently planned. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Salvation Army, a favorite charity of Pam.
