Pam worked for twenty years at Shoprite in the bakery department where everyone knew and loved her. In her earlier years she was noted for baking four trays of brownies every Thursday for twelve years for The Assumption School lunch where her children attended. 

At any one time her home was full with animals either pets or stray animals that her children brought home that needed help. You always had to look down when entering the house as not to step on a rabbit, a bird or baby kittens.  She even nursed back to health 2 baby squirrels in the bathroom that her children came home with.  Pam’s favorite pet was turtles of which she had many, even a large snapping turtle in a 10 gallon tank on the kitchen table, only moved to the dining room when having birthday cakes.  Less not forget the 20 Guinea pigs residing in cages in the hallway.

In her earlier years she was an avid bingo player and then graduated to slot machines which she loved to play with her friend Michele.  Both Pam and Michele were pen collectors by the hundreds.

Pam always took care of her family and friends before herself.
