She graduated from the Clark College nursing program and became a wonderful, caring and compassionate registered nurse. Her passion for helping others will be truly missed.
Pam loved to sing, be the hit at karaoke, and was a creative person with the gift of writing and drawing.
Pam was a vibrant, funny and loving person who had an amazing and contagious smile. She created laughter everywhere she went and made everyone she met feel special.
