Pamela Whaley Obituary
A member of a pioneer Osceola County ranching family, Beth was born on November 8, 1967, at Orange Memorial Hospital to Sheila Faye (Murphy) Whaley and Henry Clay "Sonny Boy" Whaley, Jr. She was a third-generation member of the Silver Spurs Riding Club, a graduate of the University of Central Florida, and thoroughly enjoyed her position at Harmony High School as an ESE Teacher.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Sheila and Sonny Boy Whaley.
She is survived by spouse Ricky Kean of Saint Cloud, FL; daughters Sheila Kitaif (Colt) of Okeechobee, FL, Kaitley Fleming (Mose) of Kenansville, FL, and Rachel Bronson (Duke) of Kissimmee, FL; son Jackson Shirah of Saint Cloud, FL; grandchildren Jolene Kitaif, James Clay Kitaif, and Henry Leon Fleming; and brother Henry Clay Whaley III (Bonnie) of Madison, FL.
Beth fiercely loved her family, and they fiercely loved her back. Her favorite thing to do was spend time with her loved ones, and her ideal evening was spent with them in the woods by a fire (no matter the season) listening to country gold while watching the sunset and admiring some cows. She loved being a Jiggy and had been looking forward to the arrival of her fourth grandchild, Haley Duke Bronson III, in the spring.
She was even more beautiful on the inside than she was on the outside. She was vibrant, strong, loving, fun, and honest. Heaven gained a beautiful angel, and every sunset will be a reminder of her and her radiance.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 NIV.
