Pamela Jo Dawson Sheffer

Our loving wife, mother, grandmother, and sister passed away March 4th surrounded by her family in her new home.  Pam was born August 13, 1954, in Inglewood California, the daughter of William Charles Dawson IV and Carol Jean McDonald.   

She married Dale Merril Sheffer on December 19, 1975, in the Salt Lake City Temple. They have 6 children, Kyle (Karen) Sheffer, Laura (Kenneth) Chukwuba, Bethany (Kenneth) Wright, Jordan (Becky) Sheffer, Morgan (Catlin) Sheffer, and Clayton Sheffer. Pam has 20 grandchildren that she loved dearly.   

Pam was a dedicated member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she served in many callings.  She worked in the Salt Lake City Temple and loved callings serving with the youth. She served as Primary President, Girls Camp Director, Scout leader, and primary teacher.

Pam’s most important responsibility was to be a mother, homemaker, and wife.  She worked briefly for the Davis County Treasurer’s Office, as a Census worker, and as a substitute teacher.  

Pam loved collecting dolls, crafting, traveling, and caring for animals. She leaves behind 2 horses, 2 cows, 2 pigs, 8 Chickens, 4 turkeys, a cat, and a dog.  She also enjoyed gardening and flowers.

It was an honor and privilege to be near her. She was brilliant and beautiful. We will miss her huge smile and loving presence until we meet again.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

We would like to give thanks to the Grantsville 9th and the Clark 2nd Wards for their support and compassion during Pam’s fight with Cancer.
