Pam was born in Milwaukee, WI and grew up in Greendale and Hales Corners, WI. She graduated Whitnall H.S. in 1962, and married Bruce Gehling in August 1962 (divorced 1991) and they raised their family in Muskego, WI.
Pam was a great mom, and the soul who held the large, extended Gehling family together. After many years of being a stay-at-home mom, insurance sales called to her in her early 30's. She excelled as an agent because of her caring and friendly nature. Her business was built solely on reputation and personal referrals.
Pam later met the love of her life, Erv Hollenbeck in Waukesha WI. They moved to Sun City West, AZ, where they were married on Nov. 28,1992, surrounded by close friends and family. Pam and Erv enjoyed the company of many wonderful friends and neighbors while living in Sun City West.
Pam never met a stranger and she loved being with people. Right to her last day on earth, she had a smile for everyone. She loved bowling, playing cards, and many other social activities. Everyone who knew Pam loved her for how genuine, kind, and fun-spirited she was. Pam lived a good life, filled with people who loved her.
