She was among the first women members of the Center Junction Fire Department.
Pam took great pride in her grandchildren, her flowers, and her home. She enjoyed camping, mushroom hunting, fishing, her cats, the Jones County Fair, and following her Iowa Hawkeye teams. But the thing she treasured most was the time she got to spend with Jim, her children, and grandchildren.
