Pamela was a friend of mine from Smith College. We took art classes together and always had a great time socializing and visiting. She was such a talented artist and great friend. She loved her family and was very proud of them. I will always remember her.- Mary Trudeau

My sincerest condolences to Pam's family and friends. You really could not find a better family member, friend or loving human being than one who we remember here today.
Her memory and life's journey will continue in her daughter's lives and in shared stories and memories from those who were privileged to have known her.
May the God of our understanding bless Pam and may she rest in peace as she enters the next part of her eternal journey.
