Pamela Kay Harber

Pamela Kay Harber, 73, passed away on January 31 surrounded by family. She was a cherished wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend and will always be remembered as a true champion of those whose lives she touched. 

Born January 11, 1952, in Hutchinson, KS she grew up adventuring the Kansas countryside with her siblings and cousins. She attended KU earning her degree in education and later Emporia State University for a master’s degree in library science. 

Known for her warmth, wisdom, creativity and compassion she took to her role as an educator and librarian with aplomb, sharing her deep love of reading and theater with thousands of students throughout her 40-year career starting in Osage City and ending at Remington High School.

Pam was preceded in death by her beloved parents Darrel and Elaine Foster and brother Gary Foster of Abbyville, KS and her sister Patricia Halabi of El Dorado, KS.
