Pam was a past long time member of the First Baptist Church of Reynoldsville, a previous member of the Rathmel Baptist Church, and current member of the Methodist Church of Reynoldsville. Pam loved to attend Bible studies, painting, and walking her dog, Abby. She enjoyed cooking for others and sharing time with her friends and family. Her favorite past time was getting to spend time with her grandchildren; she was the best Grammy they could have. She helped everyone and always said even if she wasn’t having a good day, she felt better by helping others. She cared deeply about her work and supporting clients. Pam and her husband devoted time volunteering within the community and church to support various children’s programs and as foster parents. Her legacy will be remembered by how she first and foremost always put her family first. She would sacrifice anything for her family’s happiness and wellbeing. She was a loving wife and best friends with her loving husband Gary, where they would spend many hours just laughing and joking together. She loved her sisters endlessly and enjoyed spending time with them laughing and joking together. She was extremely proud of her children, grandchildren, and great – grandchildren. Pam was a loving mother to her daughters and loving grandmother to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She had a great sense of humor.  She was a devout Christian.  Although she will be deeply missed by her family, especially her husband, daughters, grandchildren, and great grandchildren we are comforted to know she is with our Heavenly Father.  Her daughters have been blessed with her as a mother here on Earth and are so happy that Carrie Ann now has precious time with her mom in Heaven.
