Pamela Bahr

Pamela Bahr

August 11, 1934 -

Pamela Bahr was born August 11, 1934 to Lois and Gerald (Jerry) Udell in Chicago, Ill., where she lived until her marriage.

On November 22, 1952, Pamela married George H. Bahr in Chicago. They moved to Racine, Wisc. to start a family. They had four sons and one daughter, Michael, Richard, Scott, Karen and Steven. Pamela's greatest joys came from family, church, singing and golf. She expressed great excitement whenever one of her children visited her. She also cherished the opportunities she had to be with her grandchildren (13) and great-grandchildren (19).

Pamela was a dedicated person of the Christian faith. Until she was no longer physically able, she enjoyed teaching Sunday school classes at the various churches she attended. While her last years of life were spent at Mt Zion Christian Church in Lake Geneva, Wisc., she was quick to talk about the love and community she had with her previous churches in Orlando, Fla., (Faith Assembly) and in Racine, (Racine Assembly of God).

Pamela loved to sing at church but also was a member of the Racine Sweet Adelines chorus. Her greatest thrill with the chorus was winning the international championship in 1973. She also loved going to London in 1974 as reigning champions. She sang for many years with the chorus before she and George began to split time between Racine and Orlando in 1985.

She started golfing more often with her move to Florida. She enjoyed her weekly rounds in her golf league and playing as often as she could with George and her friends. Whenever anyone brought up golf, she always quipped that she wished she could play one more round.

Pamela was preceded in death by her husband, George; parents, Lois and Jerry Udell; parents-in-law, William and Catherine Bahr; sister, Marilyn Allison; brother-in-law, Alan Bahr; niece, Beth Allison; and great-granddaughter, Gabriella Bahr. She is survived by her children, Michael (Lori), Richard (Jill), Scott, Karen (Harry) and Steven (Kathy); her grandchildren, Samantha (Steve), Meredith (Paul), Courtney (Max), Mackenzie (Grissom), Nicole, Ryan (Felicia), Nathan (Cara), Seth (Amy), Noah (Kali), Rachel (Eli), Caleb and Grace (Nick); her great-grandchildren, Cayden, Carli, William, Charlotte, Lucas, Isaac, Aayla, Ephraam, Machai, Cooper, Simon, Riley, Liam, Fiona, Elliott, Adalynn, William, and Nolan; and many nieces and loving friends.

Everyone who knew Pamela remarked that she had an ever-present smile. She enjoyed life to the fullest and was grateful for every day she had to enjoy God's creation. She will be dearly missed by everyone who knew her.

Celebration of Life will be Friday, October 24, 2025, 10:30 a.m., at Mt Zion Christian Church in Lake Geneva. Visitation will be from 9 to 10:30 a.m., the day of the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Mt Zion Christian Church.
