Pamela Louise Conant

Pamela Louise Conant was born the eldest daughter of Sidney F Edwards Jr. and Carolyn Edwards on June 13, 1950, in Jerome, Idaho. Pam attended several elementary schools and graduated from Richfield High School in 1967. She went on to study at the Gregg Business College in Twin Falls, Idaho prior to meeting the love of her life, Timothy Wayne Conant. Pam and Tim were married on May 29, 1969, in Shoshone, Idaho. Together they raised two daughters, a son, and two grandchildren. Pam, Tim and their young daughters spent six years in O’Neil Basin on the Gilmer Ranch. In the winter of 1977, the family returned to Idaho and established their home in Dietrich until her passing. Pam spent her life in service to others as a spud and rock picking truck driver for area farmers, aid for the Shoshone Convalescent Center, 4-H Leader and Lincoln County 4-H Assistant, High School Rodeo Director, secretary for the Dietrich Fire District, and an employee for the Dietrich School. Pam kept score book for more years that we can count and took such good care of the coaches, teams, and officials, combine these years to the years she volunteered as a 4-H Leader, High School Rodeo Director, and seamstress and you can see how much Pam loved youth. After retirement from the school, Pam continued to stay busy attending craft fairs where she sold scarves and wild rags. Pam remained active in 4-H and sports through her grandchildren and adopted grandchildren!! In 2005, Pam was first diagnosed with breast cancer and continued to fight valiantly until the time of her passing. Some would say that cancer won but for us – she beat cancer by the way she continued to live her life with grace and unconditional love for all she in contact with. Pam loved all of her doctors, nurses and aids from the Shoshone Family Medical Center to MISTI of Magic Valley. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone for loving our mom, grandmother, and wife and for giving so much support. Pam is survived by her husband, Timothy Conant; daughters Traci (Tracy) Perron, Tara (Alex) Hagen; grandchildren Dylan (Kaylee) Perron, Jessica (Mark) Beus, Vance (Jaycee) Perron, Kyle Perron, Ryan Perron, Thayne Hagen, Alexi Hagen, December Conant, and Coyote Conant; parents Sid & Carolyn Edwards, brothers Butch (Kelly) Edwards and Gayland (Cindy) Edwards, sisters Luann (Ron) Geer and Karen (Dick) Elliott; and multiple nieces, nephews, and friends. Pam was preceded in death by son, Cody Conant; brother-in-law, Dick Elliott; and her in-laws, Pete and Alma Conant.
