Not sure what to say?

Pam was the closest friend I ever had. I just read in the winter edition of Middlebury Magazine that she died in August 2018. Memories of our time together at Middlebury and Boulder flood in. She was a one-person PR representative for her beloved "Colorful Colorado." She introduced many of her East Coast friends to the incomparable beauty of the Colorado Rockies. We hiked together, skied together (I watched in awe -- never had I seen such a beautiful woman skier), lived together,...

Sad news and glad we reunited at HS reunions. Life moves too fast.

Thank you Pam for writing your own life history...you were quite a gal!

I learned so much more about Pam that I never knew about, so thanks to all who put this wonderful memory of Pam together. It will be hard for us not to have Pam around. Robert de Haas

I'm so very sorry to hear this. Pam will be remembered fondly and I send my love and condolences to Craig and Paula and families.
Love,

Friends will think of Pam and smile. Aloha o'e my friend. Tell the Pudlik, Pruitt and Penfold families aloha too.

Long, long ago, before it was not PC to drink a beer over lunch, let alone smoke...Pam was a huge part of the Boulder Press Club that met at noon once a month at the amazing Broker Inn. Pam and Hazel would have a beer, and a martini, in that order. Gin and tonic for me. Those were the days!

Smart, fun, irreverent, Pam made Boulder a better place for so many years. I am sad to know she's gone. She was a talented Boulder woman who knew who she was and loved her town. I last saw her at...

She sounds like she was a cool human being, who led a great life worth living.

I'm so sorry to hear of Pam's passing. I lived just below her in Fourmile Canyon back in the '90s, and got to know her because I would walk my dog Hobo up to her pond in all seasons.

In fact, I thanked Pam for helping to inspire my 2005 children's picture book, "The Winter Witch": "Thanks also to Pam Penfold: a witch she isn't, but her house and pond in Fourmile Canyonand the wonderful denizens who live nearbygave me the setting for this story."

Pam embraced life wholeheartedly...
