Pam was a member of St. Francis Church where she dearly loved attending Sunday Mass and planted and maintained flowers on the church property. She formerly had been employed to clean at Monte's Riverside Inn and Wedron Silica. Making homemade candy brought Pam tremendous joy and was known for "Pam's Candy" at Handy Foods as well as her sought-after taffy apples at the Burgoo. She enjoyed being outdoors taking great care of her flowers and adding to her rock collection. The time Pam enjoyed most was that spent with her family and friends and going to church on Sunday.
