Dr. Pamela Kaye Gauch (Age 80)
Dr. Pamela Kaye Gauch, beloved mother to four children, at 80 years old, of Woodbridge, VA, passed away peacefully surrounded by her children and family on February 27th, 2025.
Dr. Gauch was from Hopkins, MN born in 1945 to Jack and Helen Edeskuty. She attended Brigham Young University where she earned her Bachelors degree in Education, earned her Masters from George Mason, and finally her Doctorate from Virginia Tech. She spent her professional life dedicated to the education of children in Prince William County Public Schools where she taught French, English, became a principal and retired as Associate Superintendent of Curriculum/Instruction. She leaves a legacy of loyalty, commitment, and love for her profession and those she worked with for so many years.
Dr. Gauch was a devoted mother to Kathryn Harned, Michele Powers, Barry Gauch II, and Bryan Gauch. They have always been her pride and joy. Her passion for her family shined through in her selflessness and faith in Jesus Christ. You’d often find her at a sporting event cheering her children on or in the service of others, whether that be in her work or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She was a dedicated servant for which God has a special place reserved.
Dr. Pamela Gauch was preceded in death by her sisters Dorianna Haller, Nonie Parks, Jacqueline Lund, and brother Joseph Edeskuty, and is survived by her sisters Dianna Horntvedt and Ginger Robinson, her four children and their spouses, ten grandchildren, and two great grandchildren, who will never forget the love she brought to their lives.
A private family remembrance is planned for Wednesday, March 5th. A celebration of life will be scheduled and announced in the coming week for those interested in attending. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you say a prayer for Dr. Gauch and family, and take the time to volunteer at your local public school to help the dedicated individuals whose mission it is to further the education of our children.
Book of Mormon
Alma 56:47-48
“Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.”
“And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it.”
