Pam was a long time and faithful member of Union Grove Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Emeritus Dr. Henry L.

She had a beautiful tenor voice and served tirelessly on the praise team and in two choirs, vacation bible study and was a deaconess. She served with that affectionate smile we all knew and will miss. Pam displayed throughout her life the love she had for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,  and it never wavered even when she was sick.
