To many Pam was a friend, sister, cousin, bowling partner, babysitter and a smiling face but to us she was our mom; the most loving piece of this family’s heart. Someone we went to for advice, support and a listening ear. There is no other woman stronger.

No matter what she was doing; operating a chainsaw, stacking wood, doing yard work, cleaning her cars or house she wouldn’t stop until the job was done. Pam enjoyed spending time with her family, wrestling her sons, bowling, fishing, hunting, beading, listening to oldies music and taking care of the ones she loved.

Her kind, compassionate spirit will be truly missed by all and her infectious, enjoyable, hearty laugh will never be forgotten.
