Pamela Sue Hardy, daughter, sister, mother, “G,” was born on July 17, 1958, and passed away on January 4, 2025. She devoted her life to her daughters, Holly and Sarah, and found new joy through her grandchildren, Emma and Jude.
Pam served as a teacher at Campbellsville High School, but to many, she was so much more. She was a second mother, especially to those who felt lost or broken or lonely, often taking students into her own home. She shaped the lives of hundreds of young adults and her love for the Purple and Gold ran deep.
Her journey was one of resilience and strength. Pam believed in the power of words and there is no better way to eulogize her, than in her own words that she wrote to Holly and Sarah this past Easter:
“Here’s what I hope you got from me at some point: I hope you take a minute out of your busy schedules and think about the great sacrifice Jesus made for us, and even though I’ve not always been a great role model when it comes to religion, I do hope I have been when it comes to believing in those things Jesus taught us about love and having hearts that want to service; empathy and joy. I hope I taught you not to discriminate, period. I hope that no matter what I have ever done, I have shown you two power in a great backbone. I’ve personally shown you how to dig deeply into yourselves when the world is kicking your butt, and find that perseverance and strength to keep going. I hope I’ve taught you to laugh out loud and hard even over silly things. And I hope I’ve instilled in you a deep love of great music, and that it’s ok to sing “Hotel California” on the way to church!! Insert big grin here!!”
She showed us, she taught us, and she lived all of these things. So many people are better people because they met her.
Pam is survived by her parents, Rev. J. Alvin and Peggy Hardy, daughters Holly Rothacker (Kevin) and Sarah Durham, grandchildren Emma and Jude Rothacker, siblings Jim and Lorri Hardy and Kathy and Eddie Snow, a host of nieces and nephews, extended family, and friends.

Barry Bertram of Campbellsville, son of the late Judge George O. Bertram and Golda Risen Bertram, was born August 29, 1935 in Taylor County, Kentucky. He died at 10:15 P.M., Thursday, January 2, 2025, in Campbellsville. Age: 89
He professed faith in Christ and was a member of Campbellsville Baptist Church. Barry had served 59 years with the Gideons International and was also a 19-year Trustee at Campbellsville University and on the Board of Directors at Community Trust Bank. He was also a graduate of Vanderbilt University.
“He was one of the first to befriend me when I arrived here three years ago,” said Dr. Joseph Hopkins, president of Campbellsville University. “I found him to be an excellent servant leader, both for us and the community.
“He was a combination of uncommon intellect and kindness. I leaned on him as a source of wisdom.”
Barry faithfully served as a Community Trust Bank Advisory Director for 34 years and was a board member of First Federal Savings and Loan prior to that, according to CTB Regional President Ricky Sparkman.
“Barry was a good friend and mentor and was always available to help when called upon. His humor and insight will be greatly missed,” Sparkman said.
Barry loved to tell stories — about himself and others. He knew how to laugh at himself, which made his way of turning a phrase very special. Al Hardy, former pastor of Good Hope Baptist Church and a frequent host to Barry when he was making his rounds for Gideons International, said Barry had a quick wit.
“It was really quite remarkable how quick a comeback he could come up with seeing how he kind of stumbled around while telling a story.”
Gideons meant everything to Barry. At one time he had attended 50 consecutive international conventions and was a regular speaker at area churches on behalf of the organization. He was also the very first president of the local camp which was chartered in 1966. He also served as state president for Gideons for three years.
Don Green, who is Church Assignment Chairman of the local camp, served with Barry for 28 years.
“He was faithful to the Gideons, not just financially but with his time.”
Sports played a big role in his life as well. You might find him running, playing tennis or golfing in-between his heavy work schedule.
He was super competitive and cultivated much respect on the Miller Park tennis courts.
W.D. McCubbin was an young, upstart tennis player, who was introduced to Barry’s competitive fire at the Miller Park tennis courts.
“I loved spending time with Barry at the tennis courts, Jeff’s, golfing and other spots. He always had some very detailed story to tell and I loved hearing them… sometimes for a second or third time because he loved sharing.
“He was the toughest tennis player I experienced as a 16 year old. We played three tie breakers the first time we played. He overheard me tell my grandfather to come back to pick me up in an hour. He kept me out there for three hours.
“I got a tennis education from a 50-plus-year-old tri-athlete! He loved telling that story and that I was the only local high school tennis player to beat him the first time around. Every time we were around other tennis players he told that story and told it so much better than me — giving every detail about the rainy day and how we missed the entire MLB All Star game as we rolled the wet courts off to play.
“My son, Hayden, wasn’t quite able to escape with a win versus the 75-plus-year-old Barry. It went to a third set too. After the match Barry gave me a list of things Hayden should work on. He was still ready to take on that tennis player gatekeeper role.”
Barry was a retired attorney and prosecutor for the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
He was an avid Vanderbilt University and UK Fan.
He united in marriage to Margaret Pickett October 11, 1954 and she preceded him in death August 2, 2022.
Barry is survived by two sons and two daughters: John David Bertram and wife, Leah, of Campbellsville; George Barry “Chip” Bertram and wife, Carolyn, of Mt. Juliet, Tennessee; Teri Anne Bertram Campbell and husband, Dale, of Nashville, Tennessee; and Margaret Kathryn “Kathy” McCabe and husband, Scott, of Old Hickory, Tennessee; six grandchildren: George Ryan Bertram of Mt. Juliet, Tennessee; Molly McCabe of Richmond, Virginia; Dillon Scott McCabe and Sally Grace McCabe of Nashville, Tennessee; Grace Bertram Dickens and husband, Jake, of Knoxville, Tennessee; and Benjamin David Bertram and fiance’, Catherine Allen of Campbellsville; two great-grandchildren: Kaitlyn Marie Bertram and George Nolan Bertram of Mt. Juliet, Tennessee; one brother, Phil Allan Bertram and wife, Missy of Campbellsville; several nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends.
He was also preceded in death by a sister, Kay Risen Bertram Collins March 2, 1996.
