Pamela Joan Resch

Pamela Joan Resch (Kjorness) was born on July 7, 1955, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and passed away peacefully on the morning of Tuesday, March 24, 2026, in Hopkins, Minnesota, surrounded by the love of her children. From a very young age, she showed a natural gift for caring for others. Growing up as an only child, she was rarely without a baby doll in her arms, lovingly taking care of them as if it were her job. It only made sense that she would go on to raise six children of her own, each of whom she loved unconditionally. As a young adult, Pam worked in the service industry before opening her own in-home daycare. She cared deeply for the children she looked after, loving them as if they were her own. In her later years, she became a CNA, continuing her life's purpose of caring for others by providing comfort and support to the elderly. Her compassion for both children and seniors never wavered. Pam worked hard to make life special for her children growing up, especially during the holidays. She found joy in cooking and baking, laying in the sun, potting flowers in the spring, and canning at the end of each summer. She loved music and could often be found outside on a sunny day, blasting her favorite songs and sipping a glass of wine. If she wasn't outside, she was often settled into her favorite chair by the fireplace, watching westerns on AMC. She also had a deep love for her dogs, caring for them as if they were part of the family in every way. Pam was sweet, kind, unique, and deeply caring. But above all else, she loved her children. Her love was the foundation of her family, and it will live on in each of them. After courageously fighting for six days in the ICU and spending her final days in comfort care, Pam passed peacefully with her children by her side. In those last days, her family came together-sharing stories, laughter, and tears, holding her hand and surrounding her with love until the very end. She is now reunited with her beloved former husband, Scott Kjorness, whom we lost two years ago. While our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing they are together again. Pamela is survived by her sons, Justin Kjorness (Nicole), Jesse Dinwiddie (Kelly Van Ravenhorst), Leif Kjorness, and Zach Kjorness (Laura Salazar); her daughters, Cieara Vidor (Joshua) and Sydney Kjorness; and her grandchildren, Christian Herring, Leilly Kjorness, Louis Kjorness, Mackenzie Dinwiddie, Marleigh Horn, Reagan Vidor, and Cole Vidor. She is preceded in death by her parents, Audrey Storm and John Resch. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered. Her love will continue to live on in all of us. A service/memorial will be held on April 12, 2026.
