January 3, 1950 ~ October 16, 2012
Born in Binghamton, New York it was no secret Pam’s passion in life was her family. After marrying Chuck in 1968 Pam became a mother to Janet and Margie. Later in life Pam learned she loved being a grandma to five fabulous grandchildren, Kendall, Ryann, Jake, Madelyn and Devin. Pam attended the First Presbyterian Church in Salem. She was also part of the Willamette Valley PT Club and Willamette Valley Street Rod Club. She was a loyal employee of Motorola for 25 years and United Tech Company for 12 years. She loved watching her grandkids play at their sporting events, watching her soap operas and reading her romance novels. Over all Pam just loved life.
Pam is survived by her husband Chuck Drake of Salem, Janet (Brian) Queen of Salem, Margie (Mark) Davidson of Aumsville and her five grandchildren.
