Pam was born on September 6, 1966 at OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria, Illinois, to Gene and Mary Jo (Smith) Hood. She married Gary Freiburger on January 13, 1991. They had three sons and were married until 2003. Pam later reconnected with her former high school classmate, Dale Christianson, and they were married on April 19, 2013.
Preceding her in death was her father.
She is survived by her husband, Dale of East Peoria; her mother; her five children, Jessica (Alex) Rusciano of Fishers, IN; Kyle (Haley) Freiburger of Peoria, IL; Brooks (Brenna) Freiburger of Savoy, IL; Wyatt Freiburger of Peoria, IL; and Sophia Christianson of East Peoria, IL; numerous stepchildren, grandchildren, and extended family members.
Pam spent the majority of her adult life working in the medical field, caring for others. She worked in various capacities throughout the OSF Healthcare System and most recently worked in the private home care setting. In more recent years, Pam developed a true passion for health and wellness and spent much of her past time working toward improving her fitness. Pam felt most at peace near the ocean and took every opportunity she had to visit the beach.
Pam was a follower of Christ and regularly attended Connect Church in Washington, IL. She was involved in several small groups and bible studies and truly lived her life for the Lord.
One of Pam’s greatest joys was spending time with her grandchildren. She was affectionately known by them as “Nana”. She will be dearly missed by her entire family and countless friends, but has left a lasting legacy of living every day to the fullest and making each moment count.
