She worked as a nurse for Hospice & Community Care, Lancaster. She received her Masters Degree in Social Work from Temple University, Philadelphia, and then worked as a social worker with Hospice and at Landis Homes, Lititz. She developed caregiver support groups for loved ones of persons with dementia. Pam was a member of the Mount Joy Mennonite Church. She was a children’s Sunday School teacher and active in Women’s Bible Study. One of her joys was being a life-long learner. But Pam's greatest joy was the bonds she formed with her grandchildren.
