Pamela Syfert
July 12, 1958 Jan. 5, 2026
On Jan. 5, 2026, our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, Pamela Ann Syfert, met her savior face to face.
Pam was born on July 12, 1958, to Bruce and Patricia LeStourgeon, and was raised in Bulverde, Texas, with her two brothers, Doug and Scott. She met her husband Guy at the Boerne Burgess Fest in 1973, and for the two 15 year olds, it was love at first sight. He wrote her phone number in the dust on the fender of his pickup, and the rest was history.
Two years after graduating from Canyon High School in New Braunfels, she and Guy were married on April 22, 1978, and their 47 years together were filled with three children, six grandchildren, owning and operating their construction company, and the shared joy in improving and beautifying the many properties God blessed them with over the years.
Pam was an artist — although only a hobby, her gifting in design, decorating and florals were undeniable. This passion came to life in her love for decorating homes, in leading design teams for women’s conferences and brunches, and in the many weddings she decorated as a gift to the bride and groom.
She was also deeply generous and loved people. Her happiest times were always found in a meaningful conversation with a friend, or when meeting the needs of someone in her community. She had an amazing capacity to see the value in a person, and made sure those around her felt seen and heard.
Pam is survived by her loving husband, Guy Syfert, her son Dereck Syfert (Kylie), her daughter Morgan Key (Cody), her grandchildren Braedyn, Brooklyn, Kaelyn and Bailey Syfert, and Fallon Ray, her brother Doug LeStourgeon (Sherry), her brother Scott LeStourgeon, an extended family that loved her deeply, and her dearest pup, Elle.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Bruce and Patricia LeStourgeon, her beloved daughter Courtney “Shay” Ray, and her cherished granddaughter Kynlea Ryan Syfert.
To honor Pam, a memorial service will be held at Impact Christian Fellowship in Kerrville on Jan. 24, 2026, at 11 a.m., with a private family graveside service following. To all of her many friends, employees, acquaintances, and to everyone who knew her, thank you for loving her so well. Each and every one of you were a beautiful gift to her life. In lieu of flowers, our family would be grateful for donations to be made online to the “Sweet Kynlea Foundation” in honor of her granddaughter, Kynlea Syfert. https:// saafdn. org/ sweet- kynlea- foundation-fund/. All proceeds will be used to bless our Kerr County community.
We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Delora Mix for being a loving care giver and friend, her primary hospice nurse Sarah who gave our family so much peace, and the many other wonderful nurses and staff at Peterson Hospice for helping care for her after a very rapid battle with Lewy Body Dementia. We know your presence extended the precious time we had left.
