Pam graduated High School in 1973. She traveled the world as a military wife and even got named woman of the year while abroad for securing retirement pay for spouses of military members should they divorce after at least 12 years of marriage.

Pam loved painting, arts and crafts, ceramics and karaoke. Per her request no funeral or viewing will be held. She would much rather be remembered fondly in a sweet memory. If you don't have one; please consider honoring her memory by showing kindness to someone today. 

With all unconditional love that she had for others, please hug yourself today and share the love.
