Obituary of Pamela Hope Beirwagen

Pamela Hultquist was born in Omaha and moved with her family to Milwaukie when she was 10. Pam passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her family after a 15 month courageous battle with an inoperable brain tumor. Pam faced her battle fearlessly, her faith and beautiful spirit shining throughout the entire journey. Pam graduated from Milwaukie High School in 1974. She worked for the next 38 years in the swimwear industry as a Sales Representative for numerous swimwear lines. In 2003, Pam opened the Haven of Rest Day Spa with her partner and beloved friend, Debbie Bjerkvig. The spa enabled Pam to serve, love and pray for her clients, which was one of her real passions in life, to serve others and to honor her Savior. She is survived by her loving husband, Michael; father, Laurence Hultquist; mother and stepfather, Donna and Deane Seal; brother and sister-in-law, Larry and Maggie Hultquist; sister Sheila Keenan; sons Jesse and wife, Autumn Stauss, and Matthew Stauss and Michael Tate; stepsisters, Cathy McKenzie and Kim Bell; stepdaughters, Gina Beirwagen, Anna O’Reilly; granddaughters, Aspyn, Addison and Lillian; numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Pam touched so many people’s lives in her short life. Her beaming smile, love of life and her friends and family, will be missed by those fortunate to have known her. A celebration of Pam’s life will be held at 2 pm. Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2012 at South Lake Church, 1555 SW Borland Road, West Linn, Oregon. Service Information
