January 20, 1954 — March 13, 2020
PAMELA RUTH (THURMAN) LaFEVER, 66 YEARS OLD OF GOTEBO, OKLAHOMA, PASSED AWAY FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2020 AFTER A LONG BATTLE WITH CANCER. IT WOULD BE WRONG TO SAY SHE LOST HER BATTLE TO CANCER, BECAUSE SHE NEVER REALLY STOPPED FIGHTING. NO MATTER HOW SICK SHE GOT, SHE WAS DETERMINED.
PAM WAS BORN ON JANUARY 20, 1954, IN POTEAU, OKLAHOMA, TO THE LATE RAYMOND AND IRENE (POOR) THURMAN.
PAM MOVED TO GOTEBO IN 1980 WITH HER HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER. AT THAT TIME, SHE WORKED AT THE GOTEBO GET-N-GO. EVENTUALLY, THEY PURCHASED AND RAN THE STORE FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS.
PAM WAS A HUGE SUPPORTER ON MAKING GOTEBO A BETTER PLACE. SHE WAS THE MAYOR AND HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN THE GOTEBO GET DOWN SINCE IT FIRST BEGAN.
PAM LIVED HER LIFE TO THE FULLEST, EVEN UP UNTIL HER LAST DAYS. PAM WAS A HUGE SUPPORTER OF HER GRANDKIDS. SHE LOVED WATCHING THEM PLAY FOOTBALL, BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL. IF THEY WERE PLAYING A GAME, SHE WAS THERE. SHE WAS KNOWN AS "NEE-NEE". EVERYONE CALLED HER THAT.
PAM IS SURVIVED BY HER HUSBAND, RONNIE, OF THE HOME. DAUGHTER TRACI AND HUSBAND BRYAN, THEIR CHILDREN, JAIDYN, JESICA AND BRODY, ALL OF GOTEBO. SON RICHARD AND WIFE RACQUEL, THEIR CHILDREN, LANE AND SAYLOR, OF STIGLER. SON DONNIE, OF WATONGA.
