November 28, 1954 - March 19, 2022
Pamela Jane Patnode left this
Earth and entered into glory to
spend eternity with her precious
Savior on March 19, 2022.
Pam was born on Nov. 28, 1954,
to Edward and Doris Snodderly in

her early years in Los Angeles
County until her dad decided he
did not want to raise her in the big
city and moved the family to a small farm in Lostine,
Oregon. After graduation, Pam attended BMCC where
she played on the volleyball team, winning several
championships.
Pam’s lifelong career in Human Services involved
working with disabled adults and emotionally challenged
children. Her career began at Eastern Oregon Hospital,

difference in many lives.
Pam was an anointed keyboardist and psalmist who
learned to play by ear. She began her love for music
learning to play the accordion at 8 years old. She
became an accomplished accordion player winning
many awards. She later learned to play the keyboard,
writing many songs of faith that she sang in church and
ministered to those in need. Pam was an active member
of Living Word Christian Center in Pendleton as a
worship leader and ministering to children.
Pam was an avid fisherman whose cast put the fear
of God in every fish in the stream. She enjoyed camping
with her friends and her god-daughter Kaeleen. She was
known as “Auntie Pam” to many children who enriched
her life greatly and gave her much joy. She was a foster
parent to two very special boys who enlarged her heart
and home with much love.
Pam was a counselor with Good Samaritan Ministries
for many years where she touched many lives with her
strong faith and her ability to really listen to people. Her
home was an open door for prayer and bible study over
the years.
Pam’s compassionate and kind heart touched
multitudes of lives over the years. She had mercy and
kindness for everyone. Her trust in the Lord and His
words were a true anchor in her life. She will be deeply
missed.
