Pamela Rose Pace Ryan

Pamela Rose Pace Ryan, 58 of Sebring, FL, passed away peacefully at Good Shepherd Hospice House on April 28, 2015. She was born on October 4, 1956 in LaGrange, Indiana to Charles and Laverne Pace. She resided in Hialeah, FL and had recently moved to Sebring, FL to enjoy retirement life with her husband. She loved plants and flowers. She loved gardening and was a collector of wind chimes. She was also an avid "rescuer" of all small animals. If there was a baby bird, rat, frog or even a spider, anything you needed help with that you couldn't seem to handle on your own, all you had to do was pick up the phone, call Pam, and she was right there. She was always willing to take care of everyone, always helping and make sure that their needs were met. She was always the highlight of any party or vacation that we had. She would always make everyone laugh and have a good time. There are too many good things that she did to be included in this tribute of her life. She is survived by her husband of 34 years, Robert "Buddy" Ryan; her daughter, Ashley Ryan (and Derek Cafiero) of Sebring, FL; her brother, Richard Pace of California; five step-children who she considered as her own. She was "Maja" (don't you even think about calling her grandma) and "Attorney at Law" to her sixteen grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. She also leaves behind her beloved dog/companion, Bear Bear. She will never be forgotten by her very dear and close friends who she considered family, Janet and Gary Lawrence, Dan Dixon and Debbie Elliott. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten and will always remain in our hearts.
