Pamela Elters, loving wife, mother, sister, friend, and Grandma left this world fighting on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, at the age of 68.
Pam was born on May 14, 1954, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Richard and Jane Rinda and was the third of five children. She grew up in Devon, PA, and attended Conestoga High School. She then studied Elementary Education at Shippensburg University where she was a member of Alpha Sigma Tau and made many lifelong friends. Pam married Craig Elters, her husband of 44 years, and raised their three children in Charlestown, Pennsylvania. She worked for many years as a preschool and elementary school teacher, but many remember her as Miss Pam, the Director of Miss Betty's Day Camp.
Upon retiring, Pam and Craig moved to Bradenton, FL where she and Craig shared a love for the beach. She spent her days caring for her grandchildren, taking them on every adventure with Craig. She was always smiling and able to find joy in life. She made friends easily and always kept them for life. Whether you called her Pam, Aunt Pam, Miss Pam, Mom, or Grandma, she took you under her wing and found a special place for you in her heart. She is already very greatly missed.
Pam is preceded in death by her parents A. Richard and Jane Rinda, and her brothers, Jonathan and Terry.
Survived by her husband, Craig Elters; sister, Barbara (John)Dallahan; brother, Tim (Michelle)Rinda; children, Sam (Heather)Elters, Katie (Jay) Boswell, and Jake (Anna) Elters and her four beautiful grandchildren, Connor, Jack, Lila and Jayden.
Visitation will be Saturday, September 3, 2022, from 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. at Brown & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory 43rd Street Chapel, 604 43rd Street West, Bradenton, FL 34209, and service in Pennsylvania will be announced shortly.
