Pamela Sue Ferguson, age 69, passed away with her family by her side on March 11, 2023 due to a long road with cancer. She was born April 1, 1953 in Corona, California to Robert and Margaret Ferguson. She married her longtime friend and love, Terry Lee Kruizenga, on December 2, 1972 and was married for 15 years.

Pam was born & raised in the Ontario area. She was educated in the Ontario Christian Schools and then attended and graduated from Chaffey High School. She also resided in Enumclaw, Washington and Redding, California. Pam was a stay at home mom throughout her young adult life. When she did go back to work she started out doing a few different jobs until she got a job as a school bus driver. She did this so she would have weekends, holidays and summers off with her kids. She ended up as one of the instructors that trained the new drivers. She truly did enjoy driving.

Pam was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Nana. She had a wonderful personality and always made people around her feel nothing but love and kindness.

Pamela is survived by her father Robert Ferguson, her sister Stephanie “Pennie” Ferguson; three daughters and their husbands Tanya and Mark Kauzlarich, Heidi and Jesse McClain, and Jennifer and Anthony “her son”Grajeda; grandchildren, Corey, Kelsie, Kaelyn, Megan, Makenzie, Taylor, Caila, Courtnie, Tara, Camryn, Michael, Kiersten and Maddison; plus 9 great grandchildren Kyla, Waylon, Cash, Aveah, Colton, Willow, Alorah, Braelynn and Ryker; and then of course her bonus grandchildren Craig, Garrett, Bud, Nick, Will, Kasey and Robert. All of these she loved so dearly.
