Pam will be remembered for her loving and caring nature for both people and animals. She worked as an LPN and had a passion to take care of everyone. Anyone who knew her knew the famous "woohoo!!". She enjoyed spending her time outside in the beautiful fall weather and scenery. One of her favorite hobbies was spending her time in the kitchen baking and filling the stomachs of all her loved ones and friends, especially her Rice Krispy bars. She had a unique and infectious laugh that would fill the room. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
