Pamela J. Reinhardt

Pamela Jayne Monica Stevens Reinhardt was born In Centrailia, Illinois to William J. and Leola B. Stevens, and was the third of four children. She is preceded in death by her parents, and her brother John Stevens (24). She is survived by her children, Jennifer Lawley, Marilyn Harris and husband Gary Harris Jr., Brittany Reinhardt, and Maximillian Reinhardt and girlfriend Jessica Gross, her grandchildren, Kelsey Harris, Sydney Harris and Journey Reinhardt, her sisters and their families, Cheryl Stevens D’Alessio and daughters Valentina D’Alessio White, Carla D’Alessio, and Federica Langley, and Mary Rardin, husband Mike Rardin and daughters Christine and Catherine Rardin, as well as her beloved extended family and friends. Regardless of if you knew her as Pamela, Pam, Pammy, Mom, Boo-Boo, or Grandma, you knew that she loved her family, reading, listening to NPR, watching comedy, spending time in nature, every aspect of the arts, and tending to flora and fauna of all kinds, with an emphasis on flowers and birds. She believed in the magic of the public library system, state and local parks and preserves, and finding multiple uses for any given thrift store treasure. Her abundant faith brought her comfort in knowing that she would be granted eternal peace in life everlasting. It would bring her great joy if you, dear reader, bought flowers for yourself, and address any and all health concerns the moment they arise, including getting all of your recommended cancer screenings. Those who knew her best would argue that no greater capacity for love and forgiveness will be found in another person’s heart than hers.
