A graduate of Quincy High School in 1982, she worked numerous jobs over the next 40 years. After the birth of her first child she decided being a mother was her most important job. Pam loved spending time with her family especially during the holidays. Pam had a love for shopping which made for some great Christmas’s and birthdays for her kids and grandkids. She became a phenomenal cook over the years and insisted on family sit down dinners almost every night. She loved the beach and taking long walks on the Plymouth water front with her two dogs Rosie and Lily. She and her husband Kevin shared a love for music, going to many concerts over the years including Bob Seger 6 times as well as KC and the Sunshine Band,Earth Wind and Fire, The Gap Band, Kool and the Gang and the J.Geils band. They cherished these times because they could just “let loose”. Pams love of being a mother could only be matched with her love of being a Nana. She was loved so much and will be truly missed.
