Pam married the love of her life Tommy Bowlby on July 7, 1995. She was Tom's caregiver for many years when he became confined to a wheelchair. Tom passed away February 21, 2002.

Pam was an avid reader of paperback romance novels and she stored almost everyone she read. Pam was an excellent crocheter and made blankets for her nieces and nephews. She also made numerous stuffed balls for her cats, others cats and even some small dogs. Her absolute obsession though was her cats. She loved and cared for a number of cats through the years. She even put out food and water for feral cats in her neighborhood. Pam was employed by Swartley-Ambs for 28 years.

Pam loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them, especially holidays. She was always a quiet presence at our family get togethers.

She is missed terribly but we can take some solace in knowing she is no longer in pain. We Love You Pam
