May 13, 1955 ~ January 14, 2025
Pamela Rachel Krueger was born on May 13, 1955, in Des Moines, Iowa, to Howard and Billie Smith. She grew up in Urbandale, Iowa, alongside her siblings: her older sister, Lu Ann, her identical twin sister, Becky, and her younger brother, Steve. Pam graduated from Urbandale High School in 1973.
Pam married the love of her life, Greg Krueger, in 1980 in Des Moines, IA. They went on to have two children, Ashley and Cole. In 1990, Pam and Greg moved to Omaha, Nebraska, where they raised their family. Pam dedicated much of her career to the U.S. Postal Service, working as a letter carrier until her retirement in 2014. Following her retirement, she relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona, to be closer to her family.
Pam had a zest for life and a wide array of passions. She was a huge fan of Nebraska football and Diamondbacks baseball, cherished her dog, Minnie, and had an impressive green thumb. She loved seafood and spending time with her family. Her greatest joy came from her three granddaughters- Amelia, Alayna and Anna—whom she adored and supported in everything they did. She was their biggest cheerleader.
Pam was a kind and loving person who brought warmth and positivity to those around her. Her presence made the world a better place, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Pam is preceded in death by her husband, Greg; son, Cole; mother, Billie; sister, Lu Ann. She is survived by her daughter, Ashley (Tony) Vachal; granddaughters, Amelia, Alayna, and Anna; father Howard Smith; twin sister, Rebecca Rastofer; brother, Steve (Kim) Smith; nieces, Stephanie, Angie, Bryn, and Madison; nephew, Joe Smith; great nieces Rilynn, Rachel, and Camryn; great nephew Bradley.
