Pamela Donley
Pamela Donley, affectionately known as Pam or “Pami-Lou,” was a friend to all who knew her. She lived life to the fullest, creating countless cherished memories with family and friends. Pamela devoted much of her life to serving others through the United Service Organizations (USO) and the American Red Cross, as well as serving the Lord, which brought her great happiness.
Loved by many, Pamela was a true firecracker—always on the go and full of energy. She had a remarkable gift for lifting up those around her and making everyone feel welcome. Whether through her kindness, generosity, or adventurous spirit, she touched the lives of countless people and left a lasting impression on all who knew her.
Pamela is survived by her son, Brian J. Chrun; daughter-in-law, Christina Chrun; granddaughters, Amber, Lexis, and Desiree Chrun; grandson, Brian J. Chrun Jr.; and her brother, Kevin Donley.
She was preceded in death by her father, Ralph Clifford Donley; her mother, Marjorie Donley; and her beloved grandson, Anthony Chrun, who now welcome her into Heaven. Pamela will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched.
She will be remembered as a mother, grandmother, sister, faithful servant, and dear friend. Her love, laughter, and vibrant spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
We will miss you, Pami-Lou. Forever loved, forever remembered.

We will miss Pam and her Jeep with the ducks in it. She will be truly missed.
Girl, this is unbelievable. I still cannot believe you’re gone.! you are gonna be so missed. We had so many plans this summer to go to the Keyes and go down to the lake. Take some road trip trips like we’ve done in the past! Going to Sturgis,Mark Twain Lake!! we just get bored and takeoff your spur of the moment kind of gal. It was so fun motorcycle rides Bible study groups with our Cma groups. Everybody loves you, Pam you are one of a kind. Never a dull moment. I always had to tell you to slow down and smell the roses you’d always say what’s next. What’s next love you hugs and I will see you on the other side, I’m sure it’s not gonna be much longer, but I sure didn’t think you would be going this soon and I know you’re in heaven and that’s the best place there is a real home needing your grandson my kiddos and your family. They’re all gonna welcome you guess I’m selfish I didn’t want you to go. You always had the servants heart. Hugs girlfriend. See you on the other side!!
My dear dear friend Pam. Where do I begin telling of how very much you are already being missed! We spend countless hours sitting in the gazebo praising God for His many blessings of our children & grandchildren! You loved helping me decorate the barn for weddings & parties. You are the ONLY person on earth I have ever known who truly “loved your neighbor….more than yourself”! Life brought you many trials but having God always close by kept you smiling through them all!!!! I think your roughest time was loosing your grandson! Well, now you two are together forever along with the others! Thank you Pam for being my friend and loving me unconditionally! You will forever hold a sweet spot in my heart. Rest in Peace my precious Pam. I will see you soon! Teresa
Pam I hope you’re in heaven with your loved ones, especially your granson Anthony. I didn’t see you much of late, but ran into you at target several times and caught up. The 4 of us including Debby and Annie were the OGs since all of us dating the Chrun boys back in the day. We all had some gossip together in good times and some not so good times. I will miss you Pam and always will remember your voice. You could be mad but your voice was calming and funny. RIP Pam. You beat us there…
There is a rowdy crew in Heaven now! Pam was always so nice to me and made me laugh every time I saw her. She was welcomed into Heaven with open arms, surrounded by her loved ones who had gone before her.
Oh man, where do I begin? This little spitfire firecracker will be so missed! Like everyone else, she made a huge impact on my life! I loved her great sense of humor, her sassy personality, and adventurous spirit. She was a part of our family for many years and was greatly loved by all. When we would be together and I would say or do something stupid, she’d say ” I have a brain tumor, what’s your excuse?”. Or when we were out, I’d say please try and behave yourself. Her response was ” Well alright then!” Of course she didn’t keep her word and behave herself but that is what I loved about her, always fun to be around! We both went to Church On The Rock where Pam was involved in the bus ministry. She was also a part of our Give It To God ministry. She was a member of Element Church and we would often sit together and enjoy the service with many laughs. I will never forget the time I was at my daughter’s house, had a medical issue, and couldn’t drive home. Pam drove 45 min. to pick me up, then 45 min to take me home on a moments notice. She was very kindhearted and always willing to help. My heart is broken and she will be dearly missed! But I have peace and comfort in knowing I will see her again in Heaven because she loved God and Jesus as her Savior. So fly high dear friend, you have definity earned your angel wings!
I knew Pam Lou some will miss her wit & humor. She was a lot of fun to be with! Rest dear friend in your Father’s heavenly arms. Will meet again some day in heavenly glory🙏💜
I love and miss you, Pam. My heart is sad that you’re gone, but I’m grateful that your struggles are finally over. You fought so hard through your brain tumor and the memory issues for as long as I’ve known you, and now you can rest in peace.
I know Anthony was there to welcome you into heaven, and I can only imagine what a beautiful reunion that must have been. Until we meet again, you’ll always be loved and remembered.
I met Pam Donley at a bible study. Through our time together we lifted each other up, studied the bible, shared who our family is, went out to eat and gathered at Shalom Acres. I will truly miss Pam, but one day we will meet again. God had another plan for you. Rest in peace! – Sue Smith
I’m sorry to hear about the passing of Pam. She seemed to truly enjoy life and I’m sure she is a great addition to Heaven, with the greatest people that ever spent time on earth with the rest of us.
Enjoy your new home
🙏😇🙏
It’s really hard to get a grip that you’re not here anymore. We’ve been going through pictures and messages, listening to many of the voicemails you left us kids. Granny you always showed up for us kids. You made every effort to be so involved in our lives and I am so grateful for that. We have so many fun memories and jokes. I’ll love you always grandma.
We will miss our cousin Pam. We had many good times when we were kids, and she was always stopping by to say hi and check in.
I remember going to the Schnucks she worked at and hear her calling out my name across the store. Pam is one of the good people and we will miss her immensely. It just won’t be the same anymore. We loved our cousin and will miss her.
Crazy Aunt Pam your missed dearly! You sure knew how to love and always care for others. I pray Heaven is everything you’ve ever imagined. Your home Aunt Pam your imprint was definitely made 🩷🙏🏼
