Pamela Lee Alvarez

Feb. 18, 1953 – Oct. 12, 2014

Pam was born to Monte and Millie Eisele in Corvallis, Ore. She passed away peacefully Oct. 12, 2014, in Spokane, Wash., after cancer robbed her of her essence.

Pam grew up in various towns due to the fact that her father was in the military. In 1969 she moved with her family to Wilbur, Wash., where she attended and graduated in 1971 from Wilbur High School.

In 1978 she moved to Langley, Wash., on beautiful Whidbey Island, where she started her family. She lived all over the island in her many years there and made a good amount of friends along the way.

Pam was blessed with two beautiful daughters, both who were born on the island — Casi in 1979 and Samantha in 1983.

Pam married the love of her life, Louie Alvarez, in 1982, only to lose him in a tragic accident in 1983.

From that time on, she raised her daughters single-handedly.

In 2005 Pam moved to Harrington, Wash. In 2010 she moved back to Wilbur, where she resided until her passing.

She is preceded in death by her father, Monte; loving husband, Louie; and precious granddaughter, Genessa. She is survived by her mother, Millie Eisele, of Port Angeles, Wash.; her two daughters, Casi, of Colorado, and Samantha Rossi, of Oak Harbor; and her most precious grandchildren, Rane, John, Makala and Natalia.

A celebration of her life is being planned for her birthday.
