Pam was a loving mom, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend; not only to her family but all who knew her. When her youngest daughter started school, she started to work from being a SAHM for the previous 10 years, as a crossing guard for Painesville Township School District then becoming a lunch lady and kitchen worker earning the love and respect of thousands of children who simply adored her for her loving nature. She also helped her husband run ABC Driveway Company up until 2008 when Donnie passed away. Those who knew Pam knew that she loved everyone and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. She loved babysitting kids, which she did up till she fell ill in January of this year. She also loved to work in her yard from sunup to sunset every day she could get out. She took such great pride in her yard and house always decorating for every holiday, which was a delight for anyone driving past her house. She will be missed by everyone who knew her, and we are all blessed beyond words for the time she was in our lives. We now rejoice that she has been called home to our Lord Jesus Christ and can live her eternal life pain free from disease. A Graveside Service and Burial will be held at Noon on Saturday, April 12, 2025, in Perry Cemetery, 3840 Middle Ridge Road, Perry, Ohio 44081. A Memorial Luncheon will immediately follow the service at Perry First Baptist Church, 3918 Main Street, Perry, Ohio 44081.
