Pamela Lisa Kuschnick Antoni was born on April 28, 1975, to George and Carol (Schindler) Kuschnick. The youngest daughter and eighth of nine children, Pam grew up on a farm and enjoyed all the outdoor adventures afforded to her living in the country, and she developed a
strong work ethic. She learned to read early and at five years old Pam found an advertisement in the newspaper for a Shetland pony which she convinced her dad to go and look at and bring home to the farm. She started riding in local summer parades and the "Pam and Shorty" duo with the purple, white and silver sparkly attire delighted all who saw them.

Pam attended Sacred Heart Catholic Elementary School and graduated from Gervais High School in 1993. She excelled in academics and volleyball at Gervais and went on to play volleyball in college – first for Clackamas Community College, then Missouri Valley College before coming home to graduate from Western Oregon University with a degree in Biology. She married Tom Antoni in 1997. They later divorced. Pam went on to have a highly successful career in pharmaceutical sales. Her hobbies included CrossFit, Ironman Triathlons, marathons and stand up paddleboarding. She was a fashionista and was rarely seen without her bold lipstick.

Pam was preceded in death by her father, George. She is survived by her mother, Carol Kuschnick, and eight siblings, Greg Kuschnick, Lynn Ruggles, Carrie Ballweber (Greg), Tom Kuschnick (Diana), Jeff Kuschnick (Jennifer), Sue Munson, Paul Kuschnick (Meggan), Michael Kuschnick (Samantha), and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many cherished friends.

The world lost this beautiful, stylish, vibrant, kind soul when she passed unexpectedly on June 4, 2024, in Bend, Oregon. Funeral services will be held at Sacred Heart Parish Hall on Friday, June 28, 2024. The Rosary will be at 10:30 am and Mass at 11:00 am. A luncheon will follow at St Louis Hall.
