Pam was a lifelong resident of Long Beach, California, after moving here at age 5. She graduated from Wilson High School in 1965.

In her younger days, she was an avid tennis player, and later in life developed a passion for both golf and bridge. Her passion for golf resulted in an 11 handicap and membership at Recreation Park, Skylinks, and El Dorado golf courses. Her love and dedication to bridge earned her Life Master status. <\/p>\n
She was an adventurer and loved to travel. At age 20, she traveled throughout Europe and India for a year, and that love of travel stayed with her throughout her life. She traveled the world, visiting over 140 countries. <\/p>\n
