I am so sorry for the loss of Pam! She was just a spark of joy–and so patient–when I worked at NDE, and was greatly missed when she retired. I will always remember how helpful she was–and always her beautiful smile! May your many precious memories bring you much comfort and peace in the days and years ahead.

Pam was always so helpful and just a spark of joy when I worked at NDE. She was definitely missed when she retired. I did get to have lunch with her a couple of times after that and she was still just the same kind and loving person–and always so cheerful. I am so sorry for your loss, and was so shocked to hear of her passing. May your many happy memories of her bring you comfort and peace in the days and years ahead.

In reply to Donna Stratton.

I met Pam when I started in HR at NDE as one of the first new people in an established group. She welcomed me and taught me so many things (probably less than 1% of everything she knew). She taught me not only about NDE but also how to grow as a professional. I also had to learn to tune out background noise since she so frequently had visitors, whether friends or people asking questions. There was nothing she didn’t know. People could call and mention a name from years ago and she’d remember it.

I’ve never been a birthday person. She made SURE I knew it was “all about me” every year no matter what I said. Her “all about me” time really started September 1st, she didn’t wait until the end of the month. I’m still not a birthday person for myself, but whenever it’s someone else’s birthday it is ALL ABOUT THEM and I make sure they know. I feel so fortunate to have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Pam. I feel like I know all of her family and friends since she talked of you all so fondly. I’m thinking of all of you.

Pam is among the nicest, most caring and greatest people ever. I can not express my sympathies enough and I am just better for having the opportunity to work with and around her at NDE. My condolences to all of the family and closest friends and co-workers of the past.

I worked with Pam at the Department of Education. She always had a smile on her face. She was always very helpful in getting responses to my many questions. I remember her laugh and sense of humor. She will be missed by so many people. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.

Jim, Randy and I were so sorry to hear about Pam. We always enjoyed running in to you guys around town and having a good visit. Pams great smile always brightened the day for sure. Thinking of you and all the family.

I met Pam when her first husband worked at Brunswick with my first husband. A group of us played cards and got together lots. Then when Pam met Jim, my husband Sandy & I got together as a foursome. Pam was a pleasure to be around as she was always so happy. I’m so sorry for her lose.

Although Pam and I both attended Whittier Junior High, I truly got to know her at the Department of Education. We would reminisce about school but mostly about the good times living at Air Park (I lived in Huskerville). One day we spent our lunch hour driving around the old neighborhood and the Air Force Base; talking about the fun things we did in our youth. We could all rely on Pam to be to “go-to” person as she was always willing to help and had so much patience with all of us. She loved her family intensely and talking about them gave her such joy. Will miss her.
