Pamela Jane Geddy walked into Divine Light on October 1, 2020. She was accompanied by her daughter and closely surrounded by the multitude of flowers that had been sent to her by family and friends.
A warm, witty, compassionate woman who was deeply connected to her beliefs, her spirituality and nature, she had received a tremendous amount of support and love from her community in the final months, days and hours of her life. This was a true testament to the influence she had on others and the integrity by which she lived.
A third generation Colorado Springs, CO native, she was born on June 29th, 1949 to Robert H. Geddy and Marjorie H. Geddy. She spent her early girlhood surrounded by her grandparents and alongside her two sisters, Linda and Robin. The family relocated to Denver where Pamela attended Merrill Middle School and George Washington High School.
Pamela earned her BA from the University of Oregon in 1971. She enjoyed the vibrant nature of the West Coast, but ventured back to her roots and resettled in Denver, where she remained for most of her life. She lived for a few years in Santa Fe, NM exploring natural and healing arts and welcomed the birth of her daughter Alma there, in 1981. She moved back to Denver to begin a new life, and soon would begin her career in education working as a teacher for Denver Public Schools for exactly 20 years, most of which was spent at Dora Moore School. She earned her Masters Degree in Education from the University of Colorado at Denver in 1991.
Throughout her life she worked as a restaurant waitress, in retail, as a legal secretary, a public school teacher, church administrator and as a self-employed gardener. She was active in the Girl Scouts and developed a lifelong community of friends through her time at the Flying “G” Ranch. Her most lasting legacy may be attributed to her influence as a thoughtful, caring and devoted teacher, as well as her many contributions to the spiritual community within the First Divine Science Church - now called the Althea Center for Engaged Spirituality - where she remains a pillar of love and light.
A believer and follower of divine wisdom, Pamela truly felt as though "everyone and everything is connected on all levels and we give and receive from all. Our 'job' in this life is to know that divine love and truth is the only thing there is, and that we are in it and of it and can manifest it." One of her most beloved mantras remains true, even now: “All is well, all is well, all is well."
Pamela is preceded in death by her father, mother and two sisters, and is survived by her daughter Alma Lacour, her ex-husband and friend Frank Romero, her son-in-law Tristan Lacour, her grandson Oscar Lacour, her faithful furry companion Cherry, and the many seedlings which have taken root in the gardens she loved.
Donations in her remembrance can be made to the Althea Center for Engaged Spirituality or The Sierra Club Foundation.
