Pamela “Pam” Eibergen
Pamela “Pam” Sue Eibergen, age 61, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Sunday June 28, 2026. Pam was born on Jan. 13, 1965, to Arnold and Delores (Bush) Opelt. Growing up, Pam had a love for animals, especially dogs and horses. In high school she was a barrel racer, participating in numerous events. Pam graduated from Granton High School and married the love of her life, Keith Eibergen. They recently celebrated 44 years of marriage on June 26.
Pam loved being a mom to her four children. She spent many Tuesday evenings shucking peas or snipping beans while watching her kids play baseball at the Granton Park. Pam was actively involved in a co-ed bowling league, Granton Music Boosters, Granton Athletic Boosters, and Granton FFA Alumni. Pam was a leader for the Romadka 4-H club, sharing her knowledge of leather craft. She was an avid snowmobiler, putting on many miles with the Neillsville/Granton Trailbusters Snowmobile Club. Pam was an active member of the Granton Young Adults and the Romadka Daisies Homemakers Club, making lifelong friends.
Pam was known for her large gardens, baked goods, and canning her “almost famous” pickles, salsa, and spaghetti sauces. She loved a good wine and dark chocolate. Her greatest love was her 11 grandkids. She enjoyed taking them on day trips, going to their events, and organizing the annual Eibergen camp.
Over the years, Pam held many jobs besides mom and grandma. She milked cows alongside Keith on their dairy farm and for Merryvale Farms after they joined the corporation. She was a bus driver for Granton school, built cabinets for Westwood Kitchens, and worked as a transporter and then an EKG tech for Marshfield Medical Center. Most recently, she worked in the kitchen at the Neillsville school and then as a bookkeeper for Abby Vans until she was no longer able.
Pam was a member of St. Anthony Catholic Church of Loyal, where she served on the church council, sang in the choir, co-chaired the annual Fall Festival, and volunteered on other committees.
Pam will be deeply missed by her husband, Keith; and her four children, Candy (Steve) Turnquist, Julie (Mark) Kayhart, Dana (Jim) Twernbold, and Cory (Michelle) Eibergen; 11 grandchildren: Madison, Sawyer, Trevor, and Casey Turnquist, Anna, Peter, Phillip, and Andrew Kayhart, Zooey and Azra Twernbold, and Leena Eibergen; her siblings: Roger (Jeanie) Opelt, Carol (Rick Kirby) Gurney, Bradley (Darlene), Dean (Lori), and Terry (Diane) Opelt; her in-laws: Jeffrey (Sarah), Gary (Roxy), Eric (Mary Kultgen), Kent (Julia) Eibergen, and Dawn (Charlie) Hines; as well as many nieces and nephews, whom she cherished and loved.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Arnold and Delores; her in-laws, Dick and Betty Eibergen; sister-in-law, Gwen Eibergen; and brother-in-law, Jerry Gurney.
The family would like to thank Dr. Lawler, Tammy, Denise, and Moriah for all of their care and guidance.
