Jupiter, FL – With heartfelt sadness and deep appreciation for her remarkable life, we share the passing of Pam Beiter Sartory, a beloved resident of Jupiter, Florida, who died peacefully on May 3, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. Pam was 68.

Pam was more than a citizen of Jupiter—she was a dynamic force for good across Palm Beach County and beyond. A lifelong advocate for sustainability, creativity, and community engagement, Pam leaves behind a legacy that will resonate for generations.

A dedicated public servant, Pam poured her energy into causes that shaped the fabric of South Florida. She was best known for her transformational leadership at Resource Depot, a nonprofit organization in West Palm Beach that champions environmental education and creative reuse. Under her guidance, Resource Depot blossomed into a vibrant community hub—offering thousands of pounds of materials to educators, artists, and families while keeping those materials out of landfills. Her efforts not only promoted sustainability but empowered others to see beauty and potential in the overlooked and discarded.

Pam’s commitment to the environment was more than professional—it was deeply personal. Whether she was organizing community cleanups, leading school programs on recycling, or quietly mentoring young environmentalists, she approached her work with unmatched passion and sincerity. Her vision inspired others to think differently, to consume less, and to live with greater intention and creativity.

Beyond her environmental work, Pam was a compassionate friend, devoted wife, and loving mother and grandmother. Those who knew her remember her bright smile, her boundless energy, and her unwavering belief in the goodness of people. She had a way of making everyone feel seen and valued, and she carried her warmth into every room she entered. Her ability to connect—with strangers, colleagues, children, and artists alike—was truly special.

Pam also had a deep love for the arts, and she championed the intersection of creativity and sustainability. She was instrumental in growing Resource Depot’s creative programs, including artist residencies, gallery exhibitions, and hands-on workshops that ignited imaginations and inspired new generations of makers. Her work helped redefine what “waste” meant—not as the end of something, but as a new beginning.

Her many accomplishments were recognized through awards and accolades over the years, but Pam remained humble, always directing the spotlight to others. She believed in lifting up those around her, and her legacy is seen not just in institutions, but in the countless lives she touched—students who now recycle because of her, teachers who found joy in reuse thanks to her guidance, and community members who came to see their role in protecting the planet more clearly because of her voice.

Pam is survived by her husband of 45 years, [Name] Sartory, her children [Names], and her cherished grandchildren. She is also remembered by a wide circle of friends, colleagues, and admirers who will miss her deeply but celebrate her legacy with gratitude and love.

A celebration of Pam’s life will be held on [Date] at [Location], where friends and family will gather to honor her memory with stories, music, and reflection. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Resource Depot or to a local environmental organization in her name.

In her life, Pam Beiter Sartory taught us to care more deeply, give more freely, and live more purposefully. While the loss of her physical presence leaves a void, her spirit continues in every recycled project, every inspired child, and every community member she uplifted. Her light endures.
