Pammy, you are so missed by all of your friends.  You always brought an extra ray of sunlight along with the sunflowers that brightened everyone's life.  Love and miss you miss sister and friend.

Dear Pam 
Thanks to you and your love of Sunflowers, I see you everywhere! I say that's a blessing. Now I can't dislike those damn flowers like I used to.  Missing you buddy. You were always fun 😁  love ya!

You will always be remembered!!

Love you.

Pam will always be loved and missed.  She meant so much to so many people, she had such a loving and giving heart.

One day at the Main Entrance I was having a really emotionally bad day. There was a beloved patient in the ICU and family had advised us the patient was not going to make it. 
Pam noticed I wasn't doing well, and she offered to fill in for me at our daily huddle upstairs. (She was always willing to help us girls at the front desk in this way). She stopped and told me about a man who lost his wife some time ago and how he would call in like clockwork in his wife's honor, and purchase the fabric flowers they have in the giftshop. He wanted them to be handed out to staff, patients and family who needed a pick-me-up.   She told me to come down and pick out 2--one for me and one for the patient's mom.  Such a small act of kindness, such a huge impact in a Pay-It-Forward gesture. I gave a flower to Mom and have mine to this day. It has new meaning now. 

I will always think of her when I put on a Banner tshirt for work.. Pam and I shared a love of sunflowers.  She would walk past my desk at the main entrance and tell me anytime there was a new tshirt design with a sunflower on it. I would say "I don't need another tshirt!!"  She would laugh and reply "You need ALL the tshirts!!"  I would say "I can only wear 1 at a time", she would say "Did you see that episode of friends where Joey wore ALL of Chandler's clothes?!".....My last ditch effort was always-- "I'm broke" .....her reply?---"We take cash, card and payroll deduction" and then *wink* *wink* at me as she danced away. It would eat at me until I went down to the giftshop just to see.....and she would have one in my size already  put away and ready for me. 🤣  

Part 3...
~Being her nonjudgmental sounding board when she needed it.
~Sharing pictures of our grandchildren with each other and laughing at the funny ones!  We love our “Chris Farley!”
~Loving her volunteers in the gift shop and making them feel special.
~Feeling her pain when her dog Sofie died and laughing at the stories about her dog Frank who is neurotic at times. 
~Sharing our stories about our children.  She was so proud of Brent and Brandon and loved updating me on what was happening.
~Staying forever young and beautiful!
~She wanted to be a crazy chicken lady and raise chickens.\
~She wanted a miniature donkey.
~She wanted a wraparound porch so she could see the sunrise and sunsets. 
~Her glitz and glam. 
~Her loving heart.

Being loved by her through everything.  You will always be in my heart and thank you for being the sunflower in my life!   

Love you!
Gina 







PART 1

This is a very sad time for us all but then I heard a song and a line from the song that said “oh, I’m in pieces and it' tearing me up, but I know, a heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved.”  We all have broken hearts. There are so many stories about our Pammy, that show her compassion as well as her sense of humor, here’s just a few:
~Helping a 61 year old homeless man with clothes after he was released with paper scrubs and giving him a hat from gift shop that he admired.  
~Being the counselor and confidant of the hospital hearing everyone’s stories of joy and pain. 
~Our girl trips up north. Wine tasting in Cottonwood/Camp Verde area where we had a snotty servicer, so Pam immediately went into to her best Buffy voice and I as Babs.  We spent the entire time talking in a different accent and laughing our heads off while entertaining everyone else.  I’m sure the server couldn’t wait for us to leave! 
~Helping a fellow staff member with Thanksgiving dinner this past year.  We were going to make it a yearly tradition helping a family in need at Thanksgiving.  I will continue to do this in her honor.
~ Now we all know Pammy and her sons have a thing about farting noises.   Pammy would come down for lunch and peruse the hot line in the cafeteria.  You knew you were going to hear her fart noises if she saw cabbage, brussel sprouts or beans.  It wouldn’t stop her from eating them and then she would really fart through afternoon.  We would take the stairs to go back up after lunch and each step she made her farting noise.  It would drive me nuts, but oh how I wish I could hear her do the noises today.   
Getting me addicted to Diet Mountain Dew!

Continued on Part 2....

Pam will be forever loved and missed! She had such an infectious laugh and beautiful smile.  There are so many people  that Pam  touched their lives, I loved watching her grow up and turning into such a special loving person. I will miss you cousin.

I just wanted to express my sympathy for this entire family. I know this is difficult time. We may have not spoken in many years but the news of Pam's passing was a huge shock. I have many memories growing up around Pam and I remember how much she loved life, her boys, and making life fun. Just from reading all these comments it's easy to see Pam’s generosity, kindness, silliness, and caring nature were contagious and her memory will truly live on forever. I am so sorry for loss this family has had. God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. You are all in our prayers.
 The Petrovich Family 

I’m so sorry to hear this! I knew Pam , when i worked at PCH. She was the kindest person I knew. 
My prayers for her family

Our families met when our Son’s went to elementary and high school together. I remember when we would meet you and Paul for early dinner before Friday Night Lights football games and how Paul & Jason would sit up in the football stands early to watch the varsity team warm up before the start of game and how you and I hung out and watched the Dad’s do that. You and Paul were always there for my family, there for Samantha & Damien. 

We also would visit you at Banner Hospital and when Samantha was a floor nurse.

Your laughter, hugs, and passion for all your friends and family will be missed. 
Your love for your son’s Brent & PJ was your whole heart. I remember our talks about our children and especially how much the grandchildren were your sunshine. Your daughter n laws were so cherished by you. 

Our recent chat was joking about your cowboy or I called “hillbilly” swimming pool at your Wittmann home and we talked about when you visited us when we lived in Wittmann many years ago. 

Your sparkle and glitz, empathetic ear and kindness will never be forgotten. Our mutual love for the “sunflower”, of which I will always remember you. 

Life is too short and I know your beautiful family are at a loss without you, but I want them to know that we’re here for them anytime. I know deep in my heart you’re watching over all your family and friends.
God Bless.

Cathleen, Jason, Damien & Samantha Wirth 

I first became friends with Pam in 2020, she worked with me in transport for several months, after that I continued to visit her in the gift shop or would catch up with her walking in the hallways at work; I so enjoyed my conversations with Pam and her sense of humor and smile; I am so grateful to have been her friend; she will be greatly missed and Boswell and our gift shop will never be the same; my condolences go out to her family; rest in Peace Pam, all my love 

Until we meet again. Rest in paradise beautiful lady. ❤️  You will be greatly missed by all. 

Pam was one of the sweetest, most genuinely kind people I've ever met. She would always take time to share a funny story or a laugh, was so good at her job, and loved everyone with everything she had. She was sassy, funny, and kind. Her sense of humor was amazing! She'll never be replaced, but remembered as an angel forever.  I pray for her family and am sending them so much love! I will always and forever consider the team at Boswell as family and everyone is in my heart and on my thoughts!! May everyone spread kindness everyday in her memory. That is her greatest legacy!  ....I also hope they rename the giftshop at Boswell after her, in her honor, as she loved it there.  ❤⚘❤⚘❤

To my Pammy.  There are no words to express our loss of pain.  You will be missed for your laughter, hugs, farting noises you would make taking the stairs,  your passionate customer service and patient care, your counselor heart,  your faith,  giving, sharing, dedication, and so much more.  Her greatest role was wife, mom, and Gigi. She loved her family, to the ends of earth, never missing activities the grandmuckins were doing.  She was so excited for her move to Wittman.  She wanted to be a crazy chicken lady, own a miniature donkey and sit on her future front porch watching the sunsets.  Her sparkle and glitz, empathetic ear and kindness to all will never be forgotten.  I love you my sister and friend.  I will always treasure our time together and I know we are all better for knowing you.  Your were my Angel in the shape of my sister  and friend.  Always in my heart, please come to me and show me a sign.  Love you Pammy, Gina 



Lovely Lady, I miss you with all my ❤️.   You brought  tears to my 90+ year old Mother's eyes with each original flower arrangement, and there were many.  But that's exactly what you were about, giving love.  So, to my clothing size confidant, I'm here to tell you I am open to receive all my future discounts from Heaven.  Love you.
