Pamela Betts Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Pamela enjoyed working in the gambling industry most recently as a card dealer at the Caribbean Casino. Her husband joined the service in 1981 allowing her to travel to another country and different areas around the US. She loved to explore the world. She loved thrill and excitement, sitting in the middle of a storm eating her favorite food and watching the storm like it was an exciting movie. In her younger years she was very active and competitive being a part of soft ball, bowling, and pool leagues. She loved sports and it was a great day if her Green Bay Packers won a game. She enjoyed going to bingo and loved her precious time with her grandchildren. She was the happiest when we were all together.
Pamela is survived by her husband, children, grandchildren and siblings Debbie Hafert, Kevin Rivard, Donald Rivard Jr., Patricia Eggars, and Tracy Buroker. She had many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. Our sun will always and forever rise and set with you, watching over us all and keeping us safe. We leave you in God hands now and look forward to seeing you again.
