Pam graduated from Orra Jean beauty academy in 1964 and continued to make beautiful hairstyles for many years. Her passions were entertaining, cooking and gardening.

Pam was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She treasured her family and embraced every moment with them.  She especially loved watching her children and grandchildren play sports.  She was seen at every sporting event for the past 40 years. She was the heart of her family. Nothing meant more to her than being able to provide a home for her loved ones.  Whether that meant welcoming them with a meal, a lesson, or a listening ear, she dedicated her life to those she cared for. Most of all she loved her family and instilled in her children strong values.  She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
