Pamela Coyetta Bollman

Pamela Bollman, 76, of Madison, MO passed away peacefully at her home on the afternoon of Saturday, January 25, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.  Pamela was the daughter of Kenneth and Juanita Price, born October 23, 1948, on a small farm in Clark, MO. She was one of 13 children: Denny (Linda), Kathy (Randy), David (Virginia), Danny (Beth), Ronnie (Linda), Kennita, Deedee (Robbie), Cindy, Buddy (Toni), Becky (David), and Kirby (Brandy).

Though her departure was far too soon, the profound impact she had on her family and others will be felt for generations to come. Her only wish was for everyone in her family to draw closer to God and put their trust in Him. Pam was a beacon of faith for anyone seeking guidance about Jesus. An ardent believer, leader, and teacher, she embodied the essence of Christianity. In times of need and uncertainty, her unwavering presence and wisdom offered solace to all who knew her. Pam was a devoted wife, sister, mother, and “Nanaw” as her grandchildren and great grandchildren referred to her as. She found joy in journaling, reading, listening to music, and cherishing time with her loved ones.

Beyond her domestic life, Pam was a compassionate soul who actively participated in charitable causes. If she wasn’t actively involved, you could catch her making donations to local cancer support organizations and children’s Special Olympics teams. In her time of work, she served the Moberly School District as a Special Education Teachers Aid. After her retirement, she did everything but slow down, she enjoyed walks at the MACC activity center and gardening. You could often find her doing miscellaneous tasks at her sister’s restaurant or babysitting great grandchildren. Pam was a devoted member of her church, where she found peace and love with our God. 

Pamela is preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Jaunita Price; her husband, Stephen “Buck” Ketchem; her two younger brothers, Ronnie and Danny Price; a baby sister, Linda Price; her youngest son, Toby Ketchem; daughter in law, Amanda “Mandy” Ketchem; and great grandson, Johnathan. 

She is survived by her loving husband of 30 years, Fred Bollman; her 5 children: Steve (Tammy) Ketchem, Tammy Ketchem (Bruce), Debbie (Brian) Hook, Scott (Tracey) Ketchem, Nancy Garner (Shawn) “Pappy”; and 2 stepchildren, Lee (Stacie) Bollman and Wayne (Cheri) Bollman. 

She has 25 grandchildren: Amanda, Corey, James, Jason, Jesse, Mikey, Joe, Bradyn, Emily, Kyle, David, Tim, Matt, Samuel, Jalyn, Brady, Amber, Hal, Stephen, Dustin, Austin, Bekah, Dakota, Destinee & Peyton.

Pamela has 28 great grandchildren: Lizzy, Memphis, Kate-Lynn, Matthew, Camrie, Cameron, Miles, Carter, Jordan, Mason, Ethan, Landon, Leiah, Jamison, Evelyn, Zachary, Clara, Caiden, Brynlee, Charlee, Ethan, Johnathan, Weston, Paisley, Annie, Dutton, Raven, & Kayla.
