Pamela Ann Leibel

1947-2024

Pamela Ann Leibel went home to be the Lord Jesus on May 17, 2024, surrounded by her three daughters, close family and friends.

Born Jan. 4, 1947, in Mobridge, S.D., to Alfred and Nora Stoick. She was raised in Timber Lake, S.D. She is the fourth of five children, graduated from Timberlake High School in 1964, and married her husband, Larry, on Aug. 26, 1964, in Timber Lake, S.D.

She loved riding her bike, gardening, Zumba and body pump. She was active in her church, Real Life Ministries, volunteering in the Benevolence Ministry Food Room and many others. Her most cherished passion was when her grandchildren and great-grandchildren came for a visit. She taught them how to bake, including teaching them to look for the correct ripeness of bananas before using them for banana bread. They loved her Christmas tradition of making and frosting sugar cookies, even if there was more frosting on their mouths than on the cookies.

She will be remembered for her commitment to the Lord Jesus, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her friendliness, kindness and work ethic were unmatched. She never passed up a chance to snap a picture of herself and whomever she was with while out exploring or shopping and happened upon a hat stand. 

Her memory will be cherished and kept alive by her children, Barbi Umbinetti (Harry), Debbie Sexton, Rebecca Raymundo (Lou) and Patrick (Amy); her eight grandchildren, Chris (Tamara), Josh, Trevor (Lana), Jamie (Cathaline) Umbinetti, Kyle Sexton, Makenzie Leibel, Lance and Ava Raymundo; great-grandchildren Anthony, Ashley, CJ, Callie and Ethan; and her sibling, Delores Dollarhide (Stoick). She was preceded in death by her parents, Alfred and Nora Stoick, brother Tyrone Stoick, sister Patricia Maloney, (Stoick) sister Phyllis Dosch (Stoick), and her son, Patrick Michael (2010).

The family is thankful for her family and friends who made it to Post Falls, Idaho, to say their goodbyes.

Visitation will be from 4 to 5 p.m. Friday, May 31, 2024, at English Funeral Chapel, 1700 N. Spokane St., Post Falls, Idaho.
