As dawn rose on July 18, 2020, Pamela Jane Small walked into eternity with her loving and sovereign God, Jesus Christ.

Pam was physically born August 26, 1956, in North Platte, Neb., to Everett and Darlene Small. In October of 1979, in Blackfoot, Idaho, she was spiritually reborn as a daughter of the King, a sinner saved by grace.

On March 10, 1976, Pam married Donald Small in Charleston, S.C., where Don was stationed on the U.S.S. Sunfish. While still in Charleston, their daughter Mandy was born. After they moved to serve at the Nuclear Power Training Unit in Idaho Falls, God blessed them with a second daughter,
Lindsey. Danielle arrived during another tour of duty in Charleston, and Elise joined the family in Burlington, Kan., where Don had begun to work at Wolf Creek Generating Station.

Pam loved music and loved people. She shared the joy of her Lord with others, often singing in school groups and church choirs. A firm believer in the value of community, Pam actively served her neighbors and her church family at Flint Hills Bible Church in Emporia. Throughout her life, her friendly encouragement, spiritual support, and practical consideration blessed everyone around her. If someone needed food, she cooked. If someone needed a shoulder, she was there. Made spiritually perfect through the blood of her Savior, she lived as the hands and feet of
His Church.

Because Pam invested in the kingdom of God, her legacy is her family and friends, who miss her greatly yet rejoice in her glorification. She is survived by her mother Darlene Small of North Platte, Neb.; her husband of 44 years, Don, of Burlington, Kan.; her daughters Mandy (Cory) Loriot of Atlanta, Ga., Lindsey Small of Menomonee Falls, Wis., Danielle (Jeffrey) Weirich of Fishers, Ind., Elise (Jerry) Young and Leonard Fisher of Olathe, Kan. Grandchildren include Reghan and Parker Weirich, Sonya and Callisia Fisher, and Megan Young. Siblings include sister Deborah (Steven) Murdock of North Platte, Neb., Jeffrey (Katheryn) Small of Aurora, Colo., brother-in-law Phillip Nieto of Centennial, Col., and many nieces and nephews.

Proceeding Pam in death were her father Everett Small and sister Jennifer Nieto.
