Pamela S. Shaffer

April 12, 1953 — May 22, 2023

Pamela Sue (Hutton) Shaffer, 70, of Topeka, Kansas passed away on Monday, May 22, 2023, surrounded by her family.

She was born on April 12, 1953 in Topeka, Kansas to A. Clinton Hutton and Isabelle Riley Hutton, whom preceded her in passing.

Pam was a 1971 graduate of Hayden High School. In 1978 she married the love of her life, Dennis. Together they had one son. In her younger years, she enjoyed watching her son, Marc play baseball and took great pride in keeping stats for the entire team. Pam was an avid quilter and made quilts for family and friends. She also donated them to several different charities. Pam was also a Kansas Jayhawks basketball fan and enjoyed the annual rivalry game in person in either Lawrence or Manhattan. She always bragged about how KU never lost while she was at a game; much to her son's disappointment. Pam was a lover of Mexican food and was an avid customer of Carlos O'Kelly's in Topeka until they closed. She worked for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company for 30 years before retiring as a telecommunications manager.

As a Leukemia survivor, Pam enjoyed volunteering with her family at the annual Light the Night event in Overland Park. She enjoyed travel and her favorite vacations included cruises to Hawaii, Alaska and through the Caribbean to the Panama Canal.

Pam is survived by her husband of 45 years, Dennis; son, Marc (Bridgette) Shaffer; and grandson, Grant, of Overland Park, Kansas. Also surviving is her sister, Patty Bluthardt of Olathe, Kansas.
