Pamela "Pam" M. Leahy

On Sunday, July 5, 2026, Pamela Maureen Leahy, surrounded by compassionate care from Compassus Hospice, completed her earthly journey and was welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Pam was born on July 18, 1942, in Fresno, California. From the very beginning, her life was guided by a steadfast faith in God and a deep, unwavering love for her family.

A devoted and determined mother, Pam worked tirelessly to provide for her four sons. As a proud single parent, she often held three jobs at once. Working full-time at Foremost Dairy as a member of the Teamsters Union, waitressing, and selling Mary Kay cosmetics. Through hard work, sacrifice, and unconditional love, she always made sure her boys had everything they needed.

Later in life, Pam followed her family to Schofield, Wisconsin, where she enjoyed working for Krueger Floral. She found great joy in her grandchildren and treasured the time she spent with each of them. Family was always at the center of her life, and her love, guidance, and faith will continue to live on through the generations she helped shape.

Pam in lovingly survived by her sons, Martin Bottomley, Mitch Bottomley (Michelle Opal), Joe Bottomley, and Jared Bottomley; her grandchildren, Ryan Bottomley (Adam Lupton), Dana Thurston (Bud), Alexis Bottomley, Payton Trzcinski (Loukas), Blake Opal-Wahoske (Brett), Jason Wolfe, Jordan Monette, Morgan Bottomley (Joe Walkowiak), and Madison Bottomley; and her cherished great-granddaughters, Mara Thurston and Birdie Opal-Wahoske.

She is also survived by her sister, Jeryl Techman (John); her brother, Michael Leahy (Rhonda); and many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

Pam was preceded in death by her soulmate, Donald Schendel; her parents, Maurice and Vivian Leahy; and her brother, Stanley Leahy.

Her family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the staff and caregivers of Mount View Care Center and Compassus Hospice for the kindness, dignity, and compassionate care they provided throughout her final years. Your dedication and generosity of spirit will never be forgotten.
