Life story

On Sunday, October 2, 2022, Pamela Lorge, mother of four, passed away at age seventy-eight. As a Christian woman and believer in our Lord Jesus Christ, she is happily dancing in heaven now with her mom, family and friends.

Pamela was born in Muskegon, Michigan on October 16, 1943, and at the age of eighteen years old she moved to sunny Southern California. She bounced around from Corona Del Mar, to Newport Beach, to San Diego, to Cerritos, and ended up in Laguna Hills, California since 1985.

She was best known for her quirky corny humor, her laugh, her smile, fierce determination, competitive and generous spirit, and most importantly her love for her children, sisters, family and friends. Pamela would go to great lengths to show that she loved you and that she was and always will be there for you. The list of Pamela’s special traits is endless and could go on for days.

Pamela would walk into a room and make heads turn. Her beauty, elegance, kindness and grace were radiant and instantly respected. She was a beautiful woman who shined so bright from the outside and inside.

Holidays, Birthday celebrations, and entertaining were her forte. She sure knew how to bring family and friends together under one roof for everlasting memories!

As a role model for all, Pamela earned an AA degree in business administration. After years as a homemaker, she entered the workforce and gave twenty years as an office manager in the medical field. She inspired us all by showing us what hard work equates to, and the fact that never giving up leads to success.

She is survived by her daughter Tamara, her sons Jason, Ryan and Jonathan, her sisters Kay, Barb and Melissa, brother-in-laws Dan, Mike and Kris, daughter-in-laws Briana and Brooke, son-in-law Billy, her stepdaughter Karen, stepson Tommy, as well as several grandchildren, and nieces/nephews.

A celebration of life ceremony (chapel, graveside and reception) was held on Sunday, October 30, 2022 at 10:00 AM at Pacific View Memorial Park and Mortuary, 3500 Pacific View Drive, Corona Del Mar, California 92625. Hundreds attended to honor Pamela Lorge
