Born in Framingham, MA, on July 5, 1954, Pam was the daughter of the late Robert and Theresa (Bushey) Mangan. She was raised and educated in Hopkinton, MA, and graduated from Hopkinton High School, Class of 1972.

Pam's life was deeply rooted in her Catholic faith, which guided every aspect of her life. She shared her faith through kindness, compassion, and an unwavering trust in God's plan. Pam served as a CCD teacher at St. Anne Parish in Hampstead, volunteered at St. Thomas Aquinas School in Derry, and worked alongside the Little Sisters of St. Francis in Danville. She also served as a Eucharistic Minister and dedicated her life to helping those in need. Pam was known for her unwavering faith and her ability to find God's grace in everyday moments. Her life was a shining example of love, compassion, and service to others.

Pam loved the outdoors and embraced every opportunity to explore nature. She was an avid hiker who conquered nearly every trail in the Presidential Range. She enjoyed camping, especially at Dolly Copp where she would gather large groups of friends and family. She also enjoyed mountain biking, especially around Acadia National Park in Maine. Pam was also a member of the Hampstead Garden Club, spending countless hours cultivating gardens throughout town to bring joy to others through the beauty of flowers.

Pam's love of travel was boundless, and she delighted in exploring the diverse landscapes, cultures, and history across North America. Whether journeying by car, hiking scenic trails, or discovering hidden gems in bustling cities and quiet towns, Pam embraced every adventure with enthusiasm. She had a particular fondness for trains, especially dinner trains, where she and Bob would savor the experience of sharing a meal while watching the world pass by. Together, they made the most of every moment, seeking out new places and creating cherished memories wherever they went. Known as the family's travel expert, Pam was often consulted for vacation ideas, and the next thing you knew she had an entire itinerary planned for you and it was always spot-on.

Pam deeply cherished every moment she spent with her family and friends. Her love for cooking was evident in the joy she found in preparing meals and hosting memorable gatherings, from festive family celebrations to summer cookouts. She was the most amazing, devoted, and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend-truly the heart of her family. Pam's warmth, kindness, and vibrant spirit brought happiness and light to everyone who was fortunate enough to know her. Her generosity knew no bounds; she was always the first to lend a helping hand and offer words of comfort. Pam's sense of humor could brighten even the darkest day, and her laughter was a gift to all who heard it. Through life's challenges, she showed remarkable resilience and grace, inspiring those around her with her strength and unwavering love for God, family, and friends. Her legacy of love, laughter, and compassion will live on in the hearts of her family and all who were blessed to know her.
