Pamela Jean Ferrell

Pam's love of nature and animals started early. She could identify most birds by sight or song, had a special place in her heart for cats and elephants and was an accomplished horsewoman.

Pam's greatest journey began in 1971 when she married the love of her life Jim. Over the next decade their family would grow with the birth of their son Jay and daughter Keely. Pam immersed herself in and relished the role of mother, caretaker, mentor and defender of her family.

She loved old Bette Davis and Joan Crawford movies and was known to make the best macaroni & cheese as well as an awesome meatloaf. Her oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies though were a treat reserved for Christmas.

As her children got older, Pam would launch a successful career in retail where she regularly met top sales goals within the company.

In her retirement, Pam would share her love and knowledge of natural history, gardening and earth science with her precious grandchildren Kieran, James and Harper.

Throughout her life Pam's greatest wish was that her family be happy and know how deeply they were loved.
