Pam went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on February 19, 2026, surrounded by her loving family after a short battle with very aggressive cancer. Pam was born on July 29, 1960, to Howard H. and Lenna S. (Thomas) Howerton in La Junta, Colorado.

Pam grew up in Las Animas, Colorado and loved the prairie surrounding the area. She graduated from Las Animas High School in 1978. She married Jeff Smith in 1979, they later divorced.

Pam met her true love, Larry Leinweber at a Bible Study at his house in 2000. They became friends, started dating and were married June 9, 2001. She and Larry have been married 24 years. They are very active in the First Baptist Church of Hudson, CO where they attend Services, Bible studies and Prayer meetings.

They enjoy traveling together where they have visited 22 different countries, Pam’s favorites being Israel and Ireland. They have also traveled extensively in the United States. They also enjoy spending time with their blended family, while living in different parts of CO and NE, and enjoy spending some of the outdoorsy holidays together like Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day enjoying BBQ. Pam and Larry enjoy trap shooting together and she is known as a jokester among them. They are also season ticket holders to the Colorado Eagles hockey team in Loveland. They enjoy playing the family version of progressive rummy and going fishing.  Pam’s first fly fishing experience was on the White River in Alaska catching 8-pound Sockeye Salmon.
