Pamela, age 51, passed peacefully at home into Eternal Life surrounded by family on Sunday, August 21, 2022. She was born on April 3, 1971, the daughter of Phillip and Diana Goodrich.

She was the loving wife and best friend of Joseph La Roche. Proud and devoted mother of William A. (Melodie) Derse and Timothy J. (Theresa) Derse-Nosacek. Caring and cherished step-mother of Joshua Joseph, Isaac Francis, Emma Sophia and Chloe Grace La Roche. Adoring great-grandma of Argentina, Xavier and Ulrich Derse-Nosacek. Beloved daughter of Phil and Susan Goodrich.  Dear sister of Danny (Jill) Goodrich, step-sister to Kenya (Scott) Johnson and Michelle (Tom) Morris.

Pamela enjoyed bringing out the best in people whether working as an Activity Director with senior citizens or encouraging college students as a Career Development Counselor. She was a woman of many talents and enjoyed gardening, flying, kayaking, camping and biking. Pamela was active in anything to do with theater – from acting, music, set designs or writing the plays. Her baking was a real treat. Pamela’s foundation and biggest joy was her faith and family. The FROG held a special place in Pamela’s life.
