Remembering Pam brings makes me smile of happy times working side by side. Her leadership made difficult days bearable and our friendship outside of work was most cherished. She’s bringing joy and light beyond now, for her work was never finished. Love you always, Pam. Sincere condolences to Pam’s entire family.

My heart goes out to Pams family at this difficult time. I loved going into work and seeing Pam there because I knew whatever came up, I could always count on her to deal with things in a professional and compassionate way. The world has lost a beautiful person and I, for one, will miss her.

Pam was the sweetest woman, great sense of humor, integrity, and a fabulous nurse. She oriented me to SRMH, 1 West in 1979! I never forgot her encouragement, and welcoming spirit. Over the years we trusted and supported each other as colleagues and work friends whether through difficult work transitions or life. She will never be forgotten, and her memory always cherished as unique, solid, wonderful. Rest In Peace Pam.

Pam was such a ray of sunshine. I was always so happy when she was the lead nursing in Pre Op, as I knew the day would go smoothly with her guiding the team. She was a dedicated professional with a wonderful sense of humor. The world has lost an angel on Earth, but I pray she is soaring freely now in Heaven.

I absolutely loved Pam. She was a great nurse and a wonderful person, with such a kind heart. It was so fantastic that she and Ed would meet and share their lives together. I know that in her 50 years of nursing, she touched a lot of peoples lives- patients and coworkers. My deepest condolences to Ed and Pam's family.

I had the honor of meeting Pam at Santa Rosa Hopital during the 8 months I was an interim manager. She was such a hard workers as the group she worked with for she had a long career. She was who could always answer my questions and fill me in with the straight and narrow. We had fun going out to enjoy our group laughing and enjoying each others company. Everyone loved her I was proud to have met her in my nursing career loving her dearly and cared about her so much. May you rest in peace. God bless your family. I am so sorry for their loss of such a beautiful person.
