She was legal secretary for various law firms and most recently had been employed by Dr. Hal Schuchmann as a receptionist until retiring in 2007. Pam was an active 62 year member of the PEO Sisterhood. She attended regularly and held almost all local offices in her chapters. She was initiated into Chapter BC in Waverly in 1960. She was also a member in Memphis and in both Humboldt chapters, most recently Chapter BV, where she was a charter member. She was an avid card player especially at gin and bridge. She treasured the standing times for coffee and lunch with her friends. Pam was an amazing and loving Wife, Mother, and Granny who would never say no to sleepovers, alone visits, and bonus nights.
