She was able to combine her love for travel and nursing by becoming a traveling nurse, which let her practice her profession throughout the U.S. including Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands. She formed lasting friendships wherever she went, leaving her signature laugh imprinted in the memory of all she met.

Pam treasured each and every phone call and visit with her many many cousins and friends including Kurt and Patty Carlson and their children, Karen (Bob) Scola of Massachusetts, Robin Agostini Gentile of Massachusetts, Kathleen “Maloney” and her children of New Hampshire and Nanette Doan of Ohio.

She also adopted the congregation of the Ashland United Methodist Church as her South Carolina family. They were an endless source of strength and support.

Pam’s joyful spirit and tremendous sense of humor will forever be a part of each and every one of us.
