Pamela Gardner Obituary

Pamela Rae Gardner, 65, passed away Saturday, December 12, 2020 at her home in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Pamela was born May 19, 1955, in Logan, Utah, to Arthur Ott and Audrey Louise Lindquist Gardner.

Pamela grew up in Blackfoot, attended schools there, and graduated from Blackfoot High School. She continued her education at Boise State University. She lived in several places, including Blackfoot and Idaho Falls, Idaho, Logan Utah, Portland Oregon, and Castle Rock Colorado.

She worked as a bookkeeper and accountant for many businesses throughout her career. She was very organized, good with numbers, and driven to balance the books to the penny. Working for the Animal Hospital Center in Colorado was one of her favorites because of her love of animals. She received recognition for her outstanding and dedicated service there.

Pamela was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She enjoyed movies, going out to eat, traveling, and playing games. Spending time with her family was what she enjoyed the most.

Pamela is survived by her son, Brandon Kasey Gardner in Moscow Idaho; her daughter, Carly Anne, and (Yoshi) Yoshitani of Japan; her mother, Audrey Louise Lindquist Gardner of Blackfoot; her siblings, Suzanne Louise Gardner of Pocatello ID, Arthur Bradley Gardner of Arizona and Cynthia Kay (Mark) Bewley of Blackfoot; and one grandchild, Noa Yoshitani of Japan.

She was preceded in death by her father, Arthur Ott Gardner.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, December 19, 2020, at Hawker Funeral Home, 132 S. Shilling Avenue in Blackfoot. The family will meet with friends thirty minutes prior to the service at the funeral home. Masks are mandatory due to international travel risks for her daughter. Interment will follow the service at the Grove City Cemetery.

Due to the Covid 19 restrictions, those friends and loved ones that prefer to stay home can watch the service on a live broadcast. The service can be viewed, and condolences can be shared at www.hawkerfuneralhome.com.

Aunt Audrey, Suzanne, Brad, Cindy,
Pam was the cousin just a couple years older than I am and she was so cool, I always looked up to her and enjoyed being with her and her family. Our family would visit the Gardner farm or the Arthur Ott family would come to Ogden to visit our family. Pam was always ready for fun and we loved her laugh giving us many fond memories of cousin times. Wishing you all, especially, Brandon and Carly comfort and peace as you keep the memories of your Mom, daughter, and sister close to your hearts.

Aunt Audrey and Pam's Family,
We were so saddened and taken back on hearing of Pam's passing. I remember all of the good times we spent as cousins at Grandpa and Aunt Mary's house and farm. Especially holidays like Memorial Day, summer parties, and Christmas get-togethers. We pray that you can find peace and comfort at this difficult time. We send our love and sympathies.

Sending my sincere condolences to Carly, Brandon and the rest of Pam’s family. Your mother was always a source of laughter for me and could always make the workday seem to move very quickly. She was always there to listen to the good and the bad and had a way of finding the positive in whatever problem you were dealing with. She was always a great friend which I appreciated so much. May she Rest In Peace and may she feel the love being shared in her honor. I will miss you Pam!

Aunt Audrey and Family,
I was so sad to hear about Pam's passing. My most vivid memories of Pam are when we were children living across the street from one another. Pam was always full of mischief and energy. She had a beautiful smile which I am sure you will all miss. May your good memories of the time you had together give you comfort as you mourn her passing. I can imagine Uncle Art is thrilled to have her home with him.
