She organized and directed the Tacoma Starlighters Baton and Drum Corp, which participated in numerous parades around Washington from 1964 to 1974. The Tacoma Starighters grew very quickly and turned heads as they often took first place in local competition.

Pamela worked off and on as a professional secretary and receptionist throughout her career. After the passing of her beloved husband, Pamela retired and shifted her interest into line dancing. She taught at the local YMCA in Gig Harbor and more recently at "The Hub" in Belfare, WA. Pamela will be dearly missed by all that were fortunate to know her. Private services will be held at a later date by close family and friends.
