  • Sue Kirtley Posted March 12, 2025 1:19 PM

    I only knew Pam through her role at Pathfinder. She was wonderful with my grandson, endlessly patient and convinced him to try for the swim team of which he is now a member. I had just begun to realize what a rare and wonderful gift she was when she passed away. My heart and sympathy especially to her family and to her colleagues at Pathfinder. And also to all those who go to Pathfinder every day as their home away from home, my love and condolences.

  • Sharon Samuels Posted March 13, 2025 8:46 PM

    A wonderful Professional lady who trained me as an instructor when I first came to the workshop. A hard dedicated worker she was. My prayer is that she is in peace with her Heavenly Father. Prayers for her children and family.
