Pamela Ann (Isbell) Tortorich

Pamela “Pam” Tortorich, born December 1, 1956, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, passed away on September 11, 2024, in Little Rock, Arkansas, at the age of 67. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend who will be deeply missed.

Pam was the proud and devoted single mother to her three sons: Joseph, married to Melissa, with their two boys, Luke and Daniel; Jordan, married to MacKenzie, with their two boys, River and Walker; and Andrew Collin (A.C.), married to Frances, with their daughter, Eleanor (Ellie). Her sons and grandchildren were the greatest joys of her life, and she was endlessly proud of the family she raised. Pam raised her sons in the Catholic tradition, ensuring they grew up with strong values and a sense of community. Pam’s legacy lives on in the love and strength of her family.

A graduate of Arkansas State University, Pam was president of the Chi Omega sorority. She forged lifelong friendships during her college years and demonstrated her leadership in both her academic and personal life. 

Her spirit, determination, and love will be deeply missed by all who knew her. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to those who supported Pam throughout her journey with Alzheimer’s, honoring her memory with kindness and compassion.

She is survived by her three sons, their spouses, her five grandchildren, and her sister, Jovann Leek. Pam was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Sparks and Bettie Jo Isbell, who she now joins in peace.
