PAMELA HAMBLY

Pamela Jean Hambly Passed away February 11 in the comfort of her home in Buckley, surrounded by her family. Born July 4, 1951 in Portland, OR, Pam was always a strong, caring, courageous woman who valued her family, friends and students above all else. During her long battle with cancer, that never changed. Pam was a well-respected teacher in the Puyallup School District for over 16 years. Besides her passion for teaching, Pam enjoyed many activities. At the top of the list, she loved gardening, reading, sewing, traveling, and could always be found listening to her favorite music no matter what she was doing. She was extremely creative and loved arts and crafts, especially with her children, grandchildren and students. Pam will be terribly missed by all whom she touched, especially her husband Jay of 39 years, daughter Julie, son Dave and wife Dawn, grandchildren Malayna, Clarisse and Tyler, parents Everett and Florence, and sister Patti and her son Colin. A memorial service to celebrate Pam's life will be held on Saturday, February 26, 2011, 12:00 pm, at The Celebration Center, 13603 86th Ave E. Puyallup, WA, 98373, and will be immediately followed by a reception. Because of her strong passion for the Arts, donations will be accepted.
