Pam grew up in Eatonville and spent the majority of her life there or in the surrounding area. She worked for many years at Eatonville High school where she enjoyed being a friend and support system for many of the kids. She always had a listening ear and loved to make people smile. She was one of the most kind and compassionate people you will ever meet and would have given you the shirt off her back and the last penny in her pocket if you were in need.
Pam is survived by her children, Jina Matos(David), Douglas Drake (Chelsea), Kimberlee Drake (Jim), her 6 Grandchildren who she adored: David, Gabrielle, Lainee, Taylor, Logan, and Blakelee. Many Aunts, Cousins, nieces, and nephews.
She is proceeded in death by her parents; John (Pat) and Lola Daly, sisters Patty Rath and Kay Lucht.
A celebration of life will be held in the Spring or Summertime.
In lieu of flowers her children respectfully request you honor her memory by loving fiercely, forgiving freely, and staying true to yourself as she did.
