Jamie Marie Wallace, 45, passed away on Dec. 31, 2025. 

She was born on Oct. 27, 1980, and lived a life defined by love, loyalty and deep devotion to her family. Jamie was the most loving, loyal and caring soul. Someone whose heart was always open to those she loved. 

She found joy in adventuring in the mountains, kayaking whenever she had the chance and soaking up every moment spent with family. 

Above all else, Jamie cherished being a “Gram.” Her grandchildren were her pride and joy and she poured endless love into Jayden, Willow and Wes. Jamie loved her work as a pharmacy technician at Kootenai Drug, where her compassion, dedication and kindness touched coworkers and customers alike. 

She had a way of making people feel seen, cared for and understood—both at work and in life.

She is survived by her parents, Don and Dana Wallace; her children Lexi (Blake), Ben (Emily) and Bradley (Dessy); her brothers Matt Wallace and Kane Wallace; her sisters Shera Winebark and Carly Wallace; her grandchildren Jayden, Willow and Wes; her significant other Ryan Witmer and his children Hunter and Toryn; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.

Jamie was preceded in death by her precious grandson Wyatt; her grandfather Kenny French; her cousin Chris Wallace; as well as many grandparents, aunts and uncles whom she now joins in peace.

There will be no formal service at this time. A celebration of life will be held in the spring, with more details to come.

Jamie lived fully and loved fiercely. Her light, laughter and unwavering love will forever remain in the hearts of those who were blessed to know her.
