Reinee E. Pasarow
Southern California
Reinee E. Pasarow grew up in southern California and attended UCLA. With husband Michael, she managed a successful food brokerage business. But a debilitating multiple sclerosis progressed throughout her life. At 16, she went into anaphylactic shock and was pronounced dead. Her spiritual awakening was a direct result of this near-death experience. She went on to share her experience with live audiences and on television throughout the 1980s and ’90s, including ABC’s 20/20, before NDEs were widely known. She was also featured in many magazine articles and books. She passed away peacefully at home in California in 2020, at 69.
