Pamela M. Bolerjack
Pamela M. Bolerjack, 68, died Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022, in Eureka Springs, Ark. She was born May 27, 1954, in Natchez, Miss.
At her birth, she required a blood transfusion. The call went out to the community and a clown from the Shriners Circus responded and gave Pamela the blood she needed. Thus her life began.
She grew up in Mississippi with her much loved older brother, Gerald Smith. After college, Pamela moved to the Ozarks where she married her beloved David Shane Bolerjack. Her two sons, Derek Sheridan and Timothy Bolerjack, were a source of delight, consternation and abundant roars of laughter. How proud she was of her boys.
Pamela was relieved to have such fine and fierce women as daughters-in-law, Jennifer Mathews and Leah Sheridan, whom she loved and admired. Two magical and clever grandsons filled her life with adventure and fun. She loved and adored Shane Bolerjack and Lewis Sheridan, always treasuring her time with them.
Throughout her life Pamela made deep and abiding friendships full of hilarity, wine, honesty, and love. The wise and wonderful women of her posse included Peggy, Annie, Sarah, Deb, Teresa, Malissa, Kathleen, Patti and Carol.
Pamela lived an artful – art filled – life. She was deeply spiritual, wickedly funny and always had a new project in mind.
No services are scheduled at this time.
Memorials can be made in her honor to Good Shepherd Humane Society, 6486 East U.S. Hwy. 62, Eureka Springs, AR 72632.
