Pamela Kay Gander

Pamela Kay Gander, 76, of Celina, Ohio, passed away on September 9, 2025.

Pam was born on July 19, 1949, in Lima, Ohio, to John and Lola (Kidd) Pond. She graduated from Lima Senior High School in 1967. On May 18, 1974, she married the love of her life, Bruce Gander. Together they moved to Celina, where they built a life full of love, laughter, and deep connection.

Pam spent many years working at Celina Insurance Group, where she was known for her dedication, charm, and vibrant spirit. To know Pam was to know fun—and maybe just a little bit of crazy. She had a big personality and a bigger heart, always ready to bring life to any room she entered.

She loved dressing up and decorating for the holidays, turning ordinary moments into celebrations. Though Pam never had children of her own, she was a cherished aunt, a devoted friend, and a mother figure to many over the years. Her warmth, humor, and zest for life left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her.

Pam was preceded in death by her parents, James and Lola, and her brother, James. She is survived by her loving husband, Bruce, along with countless friends and extended family who will miss her dearly.

In keeping with her wishes, no formal services will be held at this time.

Pam’s legacy of love, laughter, and unapologetic joy will live on in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know her.
