Pam grew up in the St. Louis area, where she attended Riverview School and graduated in 1977. She went on to attend the University of Washington, earning a degree in Marine Biology. An intelligent and curious woman, Pam had a lifelong appreciation for learning and the natural world.Throughout her life, Pam was a dedicated and dependable worker. She made her home in Bellingham, Washington, where she worked for the Harbor Group, a company that dismantled factories and managed and sold inventory. Later in her career, she worked in Information Technology at Belgrade State Bank, where she faithfully served until her retirement. She approached her work with commitment, skill, and integrity, earning the respect of her colleagues.

Pam had a deep love for travel and adventure. She enjoyed many cruises with her parents, Bill and Marilyn, creating treasured memories together. She especially loved being on the lake skiing, a passion that began at a very young age and reflected her lifelong connection to the water.
