Pamela Kay Olson, a loving mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on August 14, 2024, in Woodway, Texas. She was born on December 9, 1976, in Clifton, Texas. Pamela was known for her big heart, direct nature, and big personality that brought joy to everyone around her.  

Pamela went by "Pam." She spent her life dedicated to her family and work. She loved taking care of her two cats and her puppy Maya. She cherished every moment spent with her son, Jacob Robbins, her daughter, Katelyn Osbourn, and son-in-law, Blake Osbourn. She also had three grandchildren, Remington, Brantley, and Olivia Osbourn, whom she loved unconditionally and wanted more than anything to spoil all three of them and make them all feel special.  

Pam was a proud graduate who achieved her dream of becoming a respiratory therapist. Pam worked tirelessly in her field, earning the respect and admiration of her colleagues. She lived by the motto, "Where there is a will, there is a way," showcasing her determination and resilience in all aspects of her life. Treating and caring for people as a respiratory therapist was a passion of hers, in which she excelled and loved every second she spent helping others.  

Pam loved to go shopping; she was always on the lookout for the best deals, especially at “hot deals,” one of her favorite shopping destinations. She enjoyed vacationing; one of her favorite places to go was Las Vegas. She was also a passionate football fan and enjoyed watching her favorite TV show, Grey’s Anatomy. Pam also loved to cook during the holidays; everyone was always looking forward to enjoying all the dishes she made because they were always so delicious. 

Pam is preceded in death by Rita Jo Cleveland, Kenneth Wayne Cleveland, and Opal Vastie Marsh. She is leaving her legacy through and survived by her son Jacob Robbins, daughter Katelyn Osbourn, and husband Blake Osbourn. Her grandchildren, Remington, Brantley, and Olivia Osbourn; her father, Elton Pernell Olson; and her four sisters, Melissa Rivas, Rebecca Turnbo, Andrea Jones, and Amber Young, who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.  

Pam made everyone feel like family. She left a lasting imprint on all who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed, but her loving spirit and laughter will forever live in the memories of those she touched around her.  

A celebration of life will be held in honor of Pamela Kay Olson, joined by her family and friends at 10 a.m. Thursday, August 22, 2024, at Meadowbrook Baptist Church, 1207 N Old Robinson Rd., Robinson, TX.
