Pamela Faye Holthoefer, aged 66, formerly of Campbellsville, Kentucky died Tuesday, September 9th, 2025 at the Hillcrest Village Nursing Facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana after a long illness.
Pamela held many talents including music, writing, and graphic arts that took her many places throughout her life. As a computer programmer, she was able to create a database for the Sprint communications giant that saved that company over a million dollars back in the mid 1990s. She worked on the team that converted Louisville Gas & Electric's systems in anticipation of the approaching “Y2K problem” in 1999. She used her computer talents to co-create the initial website for the first official training camp for World Wrestling Entertainment back in 1998 helping to usher in a new ecommerce platform the company had never experienced before. She would go on to teach part time computer classes to seniors with the Jefferson County Adult & Continuing Education program who wished to learn the new technology of the day.
As a gifted musician, she began playing piano at age two and would go on to play clarinet during a Christmas pageant at First Baptist Church in Louisville.
She parlayed her love of writing into a regular weekly commentary for 1Wrestling.com where she wrote about her other love, professional wrestling giving analysis on the major happenings of the day. Pamela was also a published author having been a major contributor to Holthoefer Family History : An Historic Guide to Discovering Your Past from Serkenrode, Westphalia, Germany to The Early Years in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan.
She is survived by her ex-husband, Clark Patterson, of Campbellsville, Kentucky, good friend, Mickey Moran of Greensburg, Kentucky, and a host of other friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Albert Holthoefer and Francis Holthoefer of Warrensburg, Missouri and an ex-husband, Shawn McGinn of St. Louis, Missouri.
She made a profession of her faith in Christ in the Lutheran Church of Kansas City, Missouri.
No memorial services are planned at this time. Pamela will be cremated with internment in The Lawson Cemetery in Lawson, Missouri.
Those wishing to honor Pamela may do so by making a donation in her name to her favorite charity, The Kentucky Humane Society at Kyhumane.org.
