Pamela Ruth Ringheimer
August 20, 1962 – February 26, 2026

Pamela “Pam” Ruth Ringheimer, known for her resilience and loving heart, passed away February 26, 2026 at the age of 63 in Sweet Home surrounded by her family. 

Pam, the youngest of 10 children, was born August 20, 1962 in El Cajon, CA to Jeanette (Altringer) and Alton Walvatne. 

Pam’s life reflected her many talents and incredible strength. She was a gymnast, softball player, model, truck driver, and worked for different companies including Hewlett Packard, Cox Cable, Cirtek, and eventually the Sweet Home Forest Service where she met and married her husband Ronald Ringheimer in 1991. Together they raised two sons who will forever be grateful for her unconditional love and support. In 1999, Pam defied all odds and survived after experiencing a brain aneurysm. She enjoyed painting, music, volunteering at her children’s schools, and of course chocolate!

Pam’s greatest joy came from her family. She is survived by her husband, Ronald Ringheimer, her son, Colton Ringheimer and daughter in law, Stephanie Szuch and son, Hunter Ringheimer, and her granddaughter, Wiley Ringheimer. 

A memorial service will be held at 3 pm, Saturday, March 14th at Sweet Home Funeral Chapel. Friends and family are invited to honor, celebrate, and share their memories. Sweet Home Funeral Chapel is handling arrangements. www.sweethomefuneral.com.
