PAMELA-RAE HAGEN

November 06, 1970 – June 11, 2024

In the early morning of June 11th, 2024, Pamela Hagen passed away peacefully with the love of her life Ryan Hagen by her side. 


She was born November 6th, 1970, in Winnipeg Manitoba. Pamela was predeceased by her mother Elizabeth MacDonald. 


Pamela leaves to adore her memories with her husband Ryan; her daughters, Desirae and Ashley; granddaughter Tayen; grandson Leonard; Father Leonard (Dorothy); brothers, Darren (Terry) and Cory (Yvon); sister Kimberly (Bruce); and numerous nieces, nephews, and in-laws. 


Pamela was often found enjoying the sun, gardening, thrift shopping and having a cold one with her husband on their patio. Something that she always looked forward to was having her grandson for the summers. Pamela loved going camping and always made sure to be soaking up her anniversary weekend with her husband camping around the province. Although family time was at the top of Pamela’s list for favourite pass times, she did adore working. Even bringing small joys like finding someone just the right shirt would make her feel successful. 


Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held from 12:00pm – 3:00pm on July 5, 2024, at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 215 (215 Maxwell King Dr, East Saint Paul, MB R2E 0C8).


All who knew and loved Pamela are more than welcome to attend and show the family love and support. By doing so we as ask you to wear purple in honour of the strong woman and her amazing lengthy fight against Pancreatic Cancer. 


Pamela’s family kindly requests that all of her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.

Pam you sure were one of a kind!! You showed me the ropes working back at Stokes which feels like a lifetime ago, we had lots of memories I will never forget. My favorite times were when you me and Amanda went to Club Regent to play bingo, kino and eat McDonald's. I miss those days. Your laugh will always be in my head and I sure will miss it. There are many other adventures as i could go on but i will keep those with me for my memories to cherish. As time went by and we hadn't seen each other for a bit when I did see you it felt like no time had passed as you always will be family to me. Rest in peace my friend until we meet again. Love you🧡

A beautiful soul! Pam, you were brave beyond measure in the face of adversity. Aways ready with a smile and laughter during our visits. You were passionate about family and family traditions around Christmas and Thanksgiving, birthdays and anniversaries. Everyone was welcomed into your home. You were the best Meme to Leonard and Tayen and a most caring wife to Ryan.

To my beautiful friend Pam...I miss you so much already. Even though we missed a few years seeing each other it was like we never missed a day when we finally seen each other again. We were just young adults when we met and boy oh boy did we have fun! Thank you for letting me into your life. You definitely made my life better for being in it. XOXO. I have to believe you know something more than I do ever since you gave me the picture that says...."Everything happens for a reason....Just Believe". Once again I'm going to listen to you! See you when I see you❤️❤️❤️

Pam was one of a kind. She was the most loving, kind, caring, funny, and strongest woman I know. Although I did not talk nor see Pam for many years, I still think about all the memories I had with her. When I first started to be friends with her daughter Des, Pam immediately welcomed me into her home with such love and at one point in my life she was like a second mom to me. She made me feel like I was at home away from home. I had so many conversation with her on the outside patio drinking a beer and just laughing and talking. I am going to miss her so terribly, she will never be forgotten. Rest in peace sweet beautiful soul. ❤️ My deepest condolences to the family.

Much Love 💗

Time goes by so quickly and we kept putting everything off and then life kept getting in the way. So we didn't get to spend as much time with Pam in the last few years that we would have liked to. But we were fortunate to spend a lot of time with Pam this past year or so and got to really know and appreciate what a great sister/mother/grandmother/friend she really was and we are grateful for that. We will truly miss her.

Pam's strength and loyalty and love for family were a force to be reckoned with! (We looked up "force to be reckoned with" to make sure it was appropriate and the definition says "powerful and influential" and that describes Pam perfectly)

Rest in peace, dear sister 💜

One of my favourite memories I have with Pam is when we celebrated her 50th birthday. Des put 50 plastic bags on the front lawn & put up a sign that said happy birthday you "old bag". the reaction on Pam's face when she pulled up was priceless. I will never forget how grateful she was to spend her birthday with her daughter Des.

Warrior spirit, although I had known you, for a very slim amount of time, your energy & presence never went unseen, unheard, unvalued. Each conversation we had, was with pure empathy and love no matter what the topic, Which mirrors so beautifully with the values you instilled in your family, it shows profoundly! You were a mom to many and you had that kind of soul that is very irreplaceable. & that will never be forgotten.

You will not be forgotten.

My deepest condolences to the whole family. My heart aches, deeply for this great loss.

Much love

Was the most radiant being ever, her energy never ended and was always a beautiful spitfire of a woman - something I know she instilled in Des and her grandbaby Tayen

I didn't know Pam personally, but from all the stories and memories Des has told me and how amazing of a mother/grandmother she was I wish I did get the chance to meet her❤️ Watching Des grow up from highschool and how far she's came as a woman and a mother amazes me everyday it really hasn't gone unnoticed. All my love to Ryan, Des And Tayen. Stay strong ❤️

Pam was such a kind welcoming beautiful soul, it saddens me that the universe is without her presence. I am however so glad to know she experienced such a wonderful life with her husband Ryan, and two daughters Ashely and Desirae, to watch my friend/ her daughter Desirae turn into a career woman and amazing mother and meet Tayen, watch her grow into a sweet young little girl. Pam was one of kind, and her presence, personality, and beauty will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Pam. You were an amazing, resilient woman. Can't wait to see you up there again one day.

Such a beautiful, kind, caring, and strong soul Pam was. The love you had for your family and people around you was one of a kind. The endless laughs with Des over the phone and in her room, the amazing cooking, or even popping in to see you at work for some laughs are all times I will cherish. ❤️ Sending my love and condolences to your family and everyone who loved you. You will be missed tremendously Pam

Pam was one of the strongest, loving and warm women I've had the privilege of knowing. She was a rock for many and like a second mum to me. She always opened her home and made me feel like family. Pam, you'll always have a special spot in my heart and I'll cherish all the memories you, des and I made. You're already so missed. 💜 My deepest condolences to Ryan, Des & Tayen. Sending all my love to the family. 💜❤️

the most kind hearted, beautiful and strong woman. Would of given the shirt off her back to anyone in need. Your love for your family was something I admired so much, the way you fought for your kids & grandkids and always always showed them how much you loved them. It was such an honour to know you Pam. You treated me like family from the moment Des & I became friends and I am beyond thankful to have been apart of your family for the last 11 years. My best friend is so lucky to have had such a rockstar mom like you ♥️ You are and will be so unbelievably missed in this world Pam. Rest peacefully beautiful ♥️

thought I'd share this photo I caught of you being the most amazing Mimi, making Tayen laugh 🥺♥️

Pam, you will be greatly missed. So many different memories that I hold dear as you played a big part. Even when stretch would go buy with out talking. From painting Ryan's kitchen when he was moving in, to trips to the flower gardens every year. Des sleeping over with the girls, to walking Paulley drive at 10pm with Ashley when she was in labor. All the decorating ideas and mishaps lol. To just hanging out and talking, you will be great missed.

My loving wife,my babealicious,how we lived each day to prepare for the future. Decorating the home for each season and holiday's for family gatherings. Moving forward without you is a tragedy but you should know you'll always be with me,in my thoughts,helping me decide what to buy and where to put it. And fighting for room in the kitchen. Oh how much I've learned from you. I'll love you forever.

Pamela was the most bravest, strongest person I have known. I loved our chats that we shared since I met her. I will never forget her loving kindness she showed all who knew her. Matthew 11:28: Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
