During Pam's younger years, she really enjoyed singing with her family, she had a beautiful voice. She also carried a talent for playing the guitar and twirling a baton. She was the glue to the family, an amazing mother. She enjoyed any company from her kids or grandkids. Whether it was them coming over to talk for a while about Jesus, her younger years and family history, to put a puzzle together, go on a bike ride, or to just sit outside. Pam was a sweet, deeply loved woman by anyone who was blessed to have met her. Her beautiful soul will be missed.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt 'thank you' to the staff at OSF St. Joseph Medical Center for their care of Pam.
