Pam was dedicated during her career as a public servant with Public Works, Environment Canada, and Corrections Canada. She was very proud of her work with the Tribal Class Upgrade while on assignment with DND in Halifax. Upon retirement she enjoyed her time camping in the summer and cheering her beloved Ottawa Senators in the winter. Pam devoted her time to physical training at the gym with trainers that appreciated the effort at all times. Pam was proud to have completed a number of Ottawa Cancer walks before and after her diagnosis.

Pam’s greatest love was spending time with her two granddaughters and watching them grow into young women.
