I am devastated to see this. I met Pam years ago when we attended BM Spurr School of Practical Nursing. Such a beautiful, kind happy lady. I think of her often because of the beautiful memories we shared. Tried to find her through social media. I will miss you Pam although we have been apart for years. The memories will always be there, but knowing your voice, laugh or face I will never see again leaves me with a heavy heart. Fly high my friend, gone too soon.
I just got back in town and learned of Pam’s passing. I am so sad She was a wonderful friend to my Sister Marie and took so much personal care of her. Marie loved her and she was loved by Marie’s family. I didn’t worry as much about Marie when Pam was on duty at the Welty Home. RIP, dear sweet lady.
Dear Robin and Beth I just learned of Pam’s passing. My heart aches for you. I have many fond memories of all of you. Please know that you’re in my prayers that God will comfort you and all those who loved and will miss Pam

A wonderful person,when you met her she welcomed you with love as if she knew you all of her life. She will be sadly missed we need more people in this world like Pam. Rest in peace my friend.
My daughter Emily and I both worked with Pam at “The Welty Home.” Pam was truly one of the best nurses I have ever worked with, always cared for the residents so compassionately. Prayers and deepest sympathy to the family of Pam Brown.
I worked with Pam for many years at OVMC. She was a great person and a great nurse. She will always be in our hearts.
I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. RIP my friend
