Pamela Dawn Andreas-Stover was born January 31, 1958, in Scottsbluff, Nebraska to Challen Dean and Geraldine (Spreier) Andreas. Pam grew up on a farm in Mitchell Valley. She went to Mitchell Valley School from kindergarten through eighth grade. 

She excelled in softball and volleyball at a very young age. During her years at Mitchell High School, she was an outstanding volleyball athlete from 1972 through 1974. She was on the first State Women Championship Volleyball Team in Nebraska from Mitchell High School. She played on a traveling softball team, the Hansen Hurricanes, as the pitcher and first baseman. 

Pam and her Dad loved playing catch and her learning how to pitch. She was her Dad’s hired man – the boy he never had, helping him irrigate at a young age. She loved supporting her kids in all of their sporting events. Her pride and joy were her grandchildren. 

She married Mike Stover on December 1, 2005, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mike spoiled her rotten, she was loved by him more than words can say.

She is survived by her husband, Mike Stover; daughters, Kellie (Steve) Cox, and Amy Mitchell; son, Dustin (Joy) Mitchell; mother, Geraldine Andreas; sisters, Kimberly (Bruce) Lyons, and Shallene Green; grandchildren, Harper Joy Mitchell, Peyton and Christian Teets, and Challeni and Jayden Riddle; son-in-law, Ray Riddle; nieces, Lindsey (Trev), Ella Johnson, Andrea (Tim), Maverick Gross, and Kay Anna Green; nephews, Greg (Sonia), and Jacob Green; and aunt, Judy Spreier.  

She was preceded in heaven by her father, Challen Andreas; grandparents, Fred and Pauline Andreas, and Alex and Marie Spreier; and aunt, Ione McHale Pierce.
