Pam had an unwavering passion for education, which could be seen in her pursuit of a master's degree and her commitment to her colleagues in the CUSD.

When I think of Pam, I am reminded of a poem that beautifully captures her spirit:
Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Indeed, Pam's faith was an integral part of her life, and it is what gave her strength in the face of adversity. She truly believed that God was always with her, guiding her through the trials and tribulations of life. And this belief was contagious, always inspiring those around her to remain steadfast in their faith.
Pam had the incredible ability to fill a room with laughter. Her sharp wit and vibrant sense of humor brought joy and sunshine to our lives. And it was this same vivacity that made our conversations about our daughters and grandchildren, endless, insightful and absolutely delightful.
One of my most cherished memories of Pam was when my husband passed away. For anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, you know that the pain can sometimes be unbearable. It was during this time that Pam stepped in with her quiet wisdom and gentle humor, telling me that it was time to come back to work. She understood the healing power of getting back to what we love and providing support to others, and her words were just what I needed to hear.
In the words of the poem:
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
Pam's kindness was boundless, and her dedication to her friends, family, and the pursuit of knowledge demonstrated the strength of her character. She was the embodiment of grace, and she will be deeply missed. Though our hearts ache with the absence of her effervescent spirit, we can take comfort in knowing that she is now in the company of the angels, watching over us with that same loving gaze that saw the infinite potential in every student, friend, and family member.
As we bid farewell to our dearest friend Pam, let us take solace in the knowledge that her legacy lives on in the lives of the countless people she has touched and inspired throughout her beautiful life. May we all strive to embody her incredible spirit of kindness, faith, and love – because that is undoubtedly what she would have wanted.
Rest in peace, dear Pam. Your memory will forever remain a beacon of hope and inspiration in our hearts.
