Pamela Sue Wren

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Pamela Sue Berry (Clinebell, Keigher, Rodine, Wren), who departed this world on October 15, 2026, after an extended battle with Graves' disease.

Pam lived a full and vibrant life and will be remembered for her unique style, colorful personality, and unwavering love for her children. She possessed a bold spirit that persevered through many hardships, a sensitive and whimsical nature, and a deep appreciation for life's simple moments. These qualities brought joy, comfort, and laughter to all who knew her.

Born on August 30, 1958, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Nancy McMahon, Pam demonstrated a relentless desire to explore and an adventurous spirit from an early age. As the child of military parents, she moved frequently and spent time in several places, including Asia. During those years, she developed a close bond with her half-sister, Vicky Clinebell.

Her teenage years brought her to Colorado, where she worked hard for everything she had. While in high school, she held two jobs to buy her first car, purchase clothes, and enjoy skiing with her friends. After graduating from Greeley High School in 1977, she moved in with a group of friends. There, she met her first husband, Robert Keigher. Together they had four children. Later, she married J. Jeffery Rodine, with whom she had a son. Pamela's legacy lives on through her beloved children and the many lives she touched.

In addition to raising five children, Pam enjoyed a diverse and fulfilling career. She graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Political Science and spent a semester working with the Colorado Senate. Over the years, she worked for an insurance company, mowed lawns, and painted houses. She also co-founded a log furniture company, where she built beautiful aspen log furniture that will endure for generations to come. For most of her career, Pam worked as an eye care technician, where she enjoyed interacting with people, always kept up with the latest styles, and had a true eye for finding the perfect fit. Though she worked hard, Pam also knew how to enjoy life.

Pam had a passion for shopping, reading, music, dancing, and pop culture. Always a busy bee, she was constantly redecorating, exploring new places, or simply enjoying the day. She loved making the most of every moment and took great pride in creating a warm and welcoming environment. Seasons and holidays were her joy.

Fall was her favorite season, and she had a special talent for making her home feel warm and inviting. Reds, oranges, browns, glowing candles, and the scent of cinnamon would fill the house. On Halloween, she would hand out twice as much candy as the neighbors and still somehow have leftovers. She often found herself at Rollerland for grade-school events, where she proudly showed off her roller-skating skills. Thanksgiving was always a week-long celebration filled with more food than anyone could possibly eat.

Trips to the mall were inevitable. A cinnamon pretzel from PretzelMaker, browsing nearly every store, and admiring the latest holiday decorations made for a perfect day. Whenever she could, she would take her family to Breckenridge to enjoy the beauty of the mountains.

As the snow fell, Pam could often be found in front of a fireplace with a good book or driving through neighborhoods to admire holiday lights and snow-covered landscapes. Christmas traditions included a huge tray of Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets, King's Hawaiian Rolls, homemade mashed potatoes, and her favorite Alfredo pasta dish made with penne, peas, bacon, Alfredo sauce, and plenty of salt and pepper. She also had a habit of giving far too many presents. Christmas with Pam meant receiving everything you wanted and much more.

Spring began with outrageously overflowing Easter baskets and fresh flowers planted in the garden and on the porch. She loved the sound of rain and the fresh air it brought. Spring also marked the beginning of garage sale season. Many weekends started with breakfast at Silver Grill, a newspaper in hand, and a carefully planned route for the morning's treasure hunt. A trip to 7-Eleven for a Big Gulp and she was off in search of the perfect bargain.

During warmer days, she enjoyed rollerblading through Old Town, biking around the neighborhood, planting flowers, lounging by the pool, and spending time at the park.

The Fourth of July meant spending the day at City Park, securing the perfect place to watch the fireworks, eating KFC, and soaking up the summer sun. Summer also brought trips to Dairy Queen and Sonic for a special treat, as well as visits to Water World, the Renaissance Festival, and the Holiday Twin Drive-In Theater.

Pam's love of pop culture and entertainment was a big part of what made her such a fun mother and companion. Any time of year, a trip to the movies was always a possibility. A large popcorn, soda, and candy, usually peanut M&M's, were essential. She loved dramas, comedies, crime stories, mysteries, and romances. Some of her favorite films included Titanic, Erin Brockovich, Gladiator, and Armageddon, many of which she saw multiple times in the theater.

Shopping for clothes and home décor was one of her favorite pastimes. Her eye for fashion and talent for putting together an outfit made her stand out in any room. The latest issue of Vanity Fair, People Magazine, or the daily newspaper was never far away, ensuring she could strike up a conversation with anyone about the latest celebrity news or current events.

At home, she enjoyed watching Law & Order, Star Trek, the latest Lifetime movie, or whatever her children wanted to watch. Music was always playing in the background, and her youthful taste was legendary. Artists such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Madonna, Cage the Elephant, and Smashing Pumpkins were among her favorites, but she constantly sought out new music across every genre. She even owned a Miata with subwoofers in her forties. Pam was, in every sense, a young spirit at heart.

In early 2008, she met the love of her life, Randall "Randy" Wren. Together they shared a love of movies, concerts, good food, adventure, and pugs. Her pugs held a special place in her heart. Frankie, Buddy, Brownie, Boogie, Benggie, and Penny brought her tremendous joy throughout her life. In her final days, Brownie, Boogie, and Penny provided comfort, companionship, and unconditional love.

Pam was preceded in death by her sister, Vicky Clinebell; her husband, Randall Wren; and her beloved granddaughter, Isabelle "Izzy" Parks.

She leaves behind countless cherished memories with her children, grandchildren, family, friends, and loved ones, whose lives are forever richer because of the time they shared with her. She is survived by her children Mary Parks, Melissa Gardner, Shane Keigher, and Molly Keigher, and Travis Rodine. And her grandchildren, Maddie, Eli, Niko, Suli, and Toni, who will carry forward the love, joy, and spirit she shared so freely.

Pamela Sue Wren will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all whose lives she touched with her warmth, laughter, humor, and zest for life. Her memory will continue to inspire those who knew her to embrace life fully, just as she did every day.

Though she is gone, the warmth of her smile, the sound of her laughter, and the love she gave so generously will remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
