Pamela Ruth Boudra was born on 03/03/1953 at St Vincent’s Hospital in Morrilton, AR and passed away due to complications from Covid-19 on 01/13/2022 in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Pam was the youngest daughter of Edwin Frank (EF) and Aldis Jerrell Boudra. She was born and raised in Morrilton, Arkansas and graduated from MHS in 1971. She moved to Forrest City, Arkansas in the 1970s where she lived the remainder of her life. She attended and graduated with a Bachelor of Education from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas and Masters of Education from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Arkansas. She was an elementary school teacher for 30 years from 1975 to 2005 for Stuggart and Forrest City School District specializing in Reading and Language Arts. She was a very talented teacher who received many awards and recognitions during her tenure but what she loved the most was watching her students succeed after school and hearing “Hi Ms. Boudra” called out across the store or restaurant by her former students around town. Post-retirement she taught and prepared prisoners to take their GED at the Federal Correctional Complex in Forrest City, Arkansas. She passionately believed that everyone deserved the opportunity to have a quality education. She was preceded in death by both her parents, brother Gary Lynn, and sister Janice Dianne. She will be missed greatly and is survived by her brother, Ronald Boudra (Trish) of Friendswood, Texas. She was a beloved aunt and is survived by her nieces; Rhonda Pickett (Michael), Rita Krysiak (Robert) and nephews; Regan Boudra (Maren) and Timothy Birdwell along with several great-nephews and a great-niece. Pam loved supporting the Arkansas Razorbacks and Forrest City Mustangs. She also enjoyed traveling, crafting, and spending time with her friends, family and her dog; Krissy. Pam was a member of Palestine Church of Christ. Graveside service will be 11:00 a.m. Monday, January 17, at Friendship Cemetery.
