Pam loved being part of the “silent sporters”. She enjoyed the outdoors, kayaking, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and biking all of which she did with her trusted dog pal Polo. She often invited family, neighbors and friends for “wonderful potlucks and lots of laughs”. People commented that her winter solstice party was always the highlight of the year. She liked to entertain, was an organizer, and always there for a friend. Above all she loved being Grammy to her 3 grandchildren.
