Dr. Pamela "Pam" Koehl Ford, of O'Fallon, MO, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on August 6, 2025, at the age of 80. Pam's life was a testament to the power of lifelong learning and dedication to education. She earned degrees from Lindenwood University, a doctorate from SLU, and led a distinguished career that spanned several area schools before joining the Brentwood School District, where she spent over 25 years and retired as Assistant Superintendent. She also inspired future generations of teachers at Fontbonne University.
Throughout her life, Pam demonstrated incredible strength, especially in her courageous fight against cancer. Pam was a proud leader of Character Education and generously gave her time volunteering in her community, inspiring all who knew her.

She is survived by her children, Bill (Lisa Lauria) Carter, Beth (Matt) Pruett; stepsons, Paul and Chris Ford; and grandchildren Cyrus, Brayden, Sky, and Brooklyn. Pam was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
