Honor Pamela Barry: Final Expenses & Memorial Support

Donation protected
I am writing this with a heavy heart to ask for support in honoring the life of our loved one, Pamela Barry. Pam is a retired U.S. Air Force engine mechanic who dedicated her life to service, breaking barriers as one of the first female engine mechanic instructors in the Air Force. She took great pride in her work and the time she spent serving her country.

On the morning of February 12th, 2025, Pam took her final breath after a courageous battle with small cell lung caner. Her fight is over, and she is finally at peace.

She never had any children of her own, nor did she want any.. (unless you include her two pugs Jack & Tess) but she would always say that I was the closest thing she had to one. I still feel very honored to hold that title.

My mother and I have been her best friends & sole caregivers and while it has been an honor to walk with her through this tough journey, we cannot do this alone. We are asking for help covering her final expenses, including cremation and a small memorial to celebrate her beautiful life and legacy.

Any donation, no matter the size, will make a tremendous difference. If you’re unable to contribute financially, please share this fundraiser so we can reach as many people as possible. Pam gave so much to this world—it’s our turn to give back.
Thank you for your kindness and support.

-Ro & Kathy.
