Pam Dickinson (Hartville)'s Obituary
Pamela Sue Dickinson, daughter of Charles William and Lola Elizabeth (Richart) Dickinson was
born May 15, 1956 in Lebanon, Missouri. She departed this life Thursday, August 6, 2020, at the
age of sixty-four years, two months and twenty- three days in Springfield, MO at Cox Hospital.
Pam moved to Hartville at seven years old with her family to their dairy farm. She ran her beef
and dairy farm her entire life at Hartville. Pam made her profession of faith in Christ at an early
age and was a faithful member of the Little Creek Church. She helped organize, prepare and
serve countless numbers of church and funeral dinners. She was actively involved in the WMU
Group, Team Kids and VBS. Pam enjoyed preparing meals for the children each night. She was
the secretary for the Celebration of Unity and was an election judge for many years.
Pam loved her family and was a loving caregiver to her mother until her passing. She really
enjoyed going to her nieces and nephews’ various activities throughout their lives. She looked
forward to a daily ride with her sister and being a member of the Rosewood Farms Club. She also enjoyed meeting with her school friends; Donetta Sharp, Gail Calton, Debbie VanStavern and Connie Roberts over the years and having their yearly get togethers. Pam loved playing cards, dominos and spoons. She was a great cook; her specialty, per her nieces and nephews, was her macaroni and homemade noodles which she would make with a little extra love. She was a hard worker and spent many hours every day working on her dairy farm.
Pam loved her nieces and nephews greatly and spoiled them like they were her own. She kept a
bowl full of Reese’s hid for when the kids would come by and she would make sure to sugar
them up with her hidden treats.
