Pamela Kay Ogren, 79, of Sioux City, passed away Sunday, November 8, 2026, at a local hospital.

Pam was born June 28, 1947, the daughter of Betty Arlene Ogren-Kimball. She spent her younger years in the Omaha area before moving to Mid-Step Services in 1994. Over the next 32 years, Mid-Step became much more than a place to call home. It was where Pam built lasting friendships, shared countless memories, and found a loving family among the dedicated staff and her roommates.

Pam had a smile that could light up any room and a heart of gold. She had a special way of bringing happiness to those around her, and her joyful spirit was a gift to everyone who knew her. She looked forward to attending day programs, where she enjoyed spending time with friends, participating in activities, and making the most of each day. Some of her happiest moments involved visits from her beloved animal friends. Pam especially loved seeing Dexter, Jerico, and Woody, and she was always eager to share the news of which furry friend had stopped by for a visit.

Pam found great joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved shopping, especially when it meant finding a new outfit, purse, or piece of jewelry to add to her collection. Friday BINGO games were always a highlight of her week, and few things brought her as much excitement as the magic of seeing Santa Claus.

Pam was also a member of the Salvation Army Faith Bloomers and the Redeemer Lutheran Church Aktion Group.

Pam is survived by her maternal aunt, Linda Kardy of York, Pennsylvania; and several cousins.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Betty Ogren-Kimball; her brother, Kenneth Kimball; her maternal grandparents, Fritz and Ethel Ogren of Washta, Iowa; and several maternal aunts and uncles.

A special and heartfelt thank you is extended to the staff at Mid-Step Services for the many years of love, compassion, friendship, and devoted care they provided to Pam. You were more than caregivers; you were her family. The kindness and joy you brought to her life will always be remembered with deep gratitude.
