Pamela Kellum Reeder passed away on November 7, 2019 in Orlando, FL. Born Pamela A. Kellum, on October 30, 1962 in Grand Prairie, TX, Pam is the second daughter to James and Ella Kellum and sister to Camille and the late Broderick Wren. She is survived by her husband Mark Reeder and Mason Reeder, who she affectionately referred to as, her Bonus daughter. From a young age, Pam was always a high-spirited, adventurous person who loved talking to people. She never met a stranger. Pam participated in the drill team in high school and had many friends. After graduating from Grand Prairie High School, Pam obtained a Bachelor of Communications degree from East Texas State University. While in college, she participated in a 100-Voice gospel choir traveling and competing. Later, she pursued a certification in surgical technology which became her primary career for 15 years, working for Southwest Transplant in Dallas and Lifelink in Tampa. Pam also attended court reporting school and managed a home-based business providing scoping services to other court reporters across the country. Upon retiring from Lifelink and embracing her love for travel, she became certified as a travel coordinator assisting customers with planning their cruise vacations. While living in Dallas, Pam attended Calvary Church. She met her soul mate, Mark Reeder in 2004 and moved to Tampa, Florida in 2006. Pam enjoyed fantasy football, golf, travel and entertaining strangers, who always became her friend. Pam was committed towards supporting her community through attendance at charitable events focused on raising awareness and money for those less fortunate. After moving to Tampa, she became part of the ‘Cheerleading-Mom’ community, actively supporting and traveling to competitions for her bonus daughter. She was a member of Grace Family Church in Tampa where she volunteered in the camera ministry. After moving to Orlando in 2016, she became a member of First Baptist Church of Orlando. Upon moving to Keene’s Pointe in August 2016, she continued her enthusiastic approach to enriching the lives of others with her outgoing, vivacious, and generous personality by joining the KP Social Committee and opening her doors and heart to her Caymus Loop neighbors and all who lived near. Never to back down from an opportunity to use the power of her voice to improve life for others, she even ran for a seat on the KP HOA Board in 2018. A Celebration of Pamela’s life will be held in Dallas, Texas on Saturday, November 16, 2019 at 10:00am at Calvary Church, 4401 State Highway 161, Irving, TX 75038.
