Pam was a loving woman who had the amazing gift of seeing the best in people. She trained at the Royal Jubilee Hospital and became a Registered Nurse. Her nursing career was shortened by the births of five children. Pam’s second career, being a teacher’s aide, was a job that she dearly loved until she reluctantly retired at age 65. Pam continued to enjoy children all her life. she loved experimenting with batik, drawing, writing short stories, gardening, especially wildflowers and enjoyed woodworking projects in her house on greaves Crescent. Pam will be greatly missed by her family and her many loving friends.
