Mrs. Pamela M. Baumgartner, 72, of Hopewell, Virginia, departed this life on April 19, 2026, at her home.

Pamela was born on May 21, 1953, in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. She married at the young age of 16 and went on to build a life centered on family, love, and simple joys.

She enjoyed spending time at the golf course with her husband, crocheting, and had a deep passion for reading. Pamela found happiness in life's quiet moments and in the company of those she loved most.

She is survived by her daughters, Martha Morton (Scott), Dawn McCracken (Gary), Charity Downs (James), and Carla Durante; her son, Steven Baumgartner, Jr. (Mary); her brother, John; as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will continue to carry her memory forward.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Steven J. Baumgartner, Sr., and her mother, Bertha E. Williams.

Pamela will be remembered for her devotion to her husband,  love for her children and the warmth she brought into their lives. Her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Service will be announced by the family at a later date.
