PAMELA HARDY Obituary

Pamela Ann Behrendt Hardy 1955 ~ 2009 All our love, now and forever Pamela Ann Hardy, our wife, momma, sister, and best friend, died peacefully at home on Friday, Oct. 30. Her ability to love and care for those around her in spite of the difficulty and pain of inflammatory breast cancer will truly be cherished. Pam married her true love and best friend, Brent, on September 21, 1973. Her life revolved around her husband, children, and grandchildren, to which she leaves memories of a strong sense of humor and the everlasting advantages of unconditional love. She worked in multiple roles for Kmart Corporation and then Smith's Food and Drug since 1988, where she made many friends. She is survived by her husband, Brent, daughters Dusty (Murray) Triplett, Lisa (Bret) Warr, Casey (Wes Franson), Hailey, son Doug, and six grandchildren. Also, sisters Sherry (Dee) Gamble, Bonny Guill, and Lynn (Bruce) Robinson. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dorothy Merkey and Robert (Bob) Behrendt. A public viewing will be held Tuesday, Nov. 3rd from 6 - 8 p.m. at Redwood Memorial Mortuary, 6500 South Redwood Road, where friends and family are invited to attend. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 4th at 11 a.m. at the mortuary, with a viewing prior to services at 10 a.m. On her behalf, the family would like to thank the co-workers and friends she made at Smith's, the Carter family, Jordan Valley Hospital, IHC Hospice Services, and the many friends who prayed and cared for her. In lieu of flowers, monetary donations to cover medical and funeral expenses are being taken at America First - Pam Hardy Memorial Account. An ongoing memoriam will be maintained at www.memorialutah.com

I worked with Pam for more than 4 years at Smith's in West Jordan. Altough it has been years since I have been there I have never forgotten her or her sense of humor> No matter what she was doing she was a hoot to be around. She always made me feel like I was he most imprtant one around at that time she was a big part of my life and I loved her and her support. My husband had a small case of cancer and and she was a huge support though that trying time in my life. I am so sorry for you and your families lose and she will be missed dearly by many. My prayers are with you all at this difficult time in your lives but she is out of pain now and stillplaying pranks on you fromt he other side which was always her way.
:Love Melissa Steadman Keilman

I knew Pam years ago as young teenagers when she lived with Sherry and Dee Gamble in Nevada. I went to visit her when she moved back to Utah. She was funny, full of life and so pretty. I kept track of her over the years through Sherry. I know her family was everything. I am sorry for her passing and your loss. May God bless you to get through this.

Her smile & sense of humor will be missed. She will continue to smile down on those she touched. I am very sorry for your loss, but she is free of her earthly pain. It was my pleasure having made friends with her
during her years at Smith's.

Pam, I will cherish the time we had as we chated in your frontroom. I will remember you that way, happy and concerned for your family. We go back a long way and it saddens my heart to hear of your passing.

Dusty, I will never forget the days that I took care of you when your mother was working. You were feisty and happy and I loved having you around. Your mother had a contagious laugh and was a person you could count on. I am sorry you have to go through this hard time. My prayers will go out to your family.
Brent, you are a good man and Pam talked highly of you always to me. She was happy with you and especially grateful for the children that you have.
God Bless.

Lisa and Chase-
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I can't begin to know how hard it has been for you and your entire family. Your mom/grandma was such a kind person, with a huge heart. She always knew how to make people feel welcome in her home. She is truly blessed and can now rest peacefully. Me and the boys are here if you need us.
We love you so much,
