Pam was the beloved daughter of Shirley Smith and Milton Brown. Pam was the heart and soul of her family and made the job of caring for her family her life’s work. In doing so she has left a legacy of loved ones to carry on her work. She put everyone else’s needs before her own and when one thought there was no more to give, Pam pushed on. Pam didn’t have any children of her own, but she touched the lives of more children and young adults than most of us will in a lifetime. She was a true servant of God and made sure the innocent children always knew stability, acceptance and a place to call home

Pam had a lifelong commitment to service within her church and community. She always had a helping hand for the less fortunate, a smile to brighten one’s day and encourage words in times of need. Pam was the glue to our family. She lived and breathed family first. She could make us laugh until we cried and fussed at us, all in the same day. She loved hard, she taught us to be humble, yet confident in ourselves. She celebrated with us, cried with us, kept our deepest secrets but always showed us unconditional love.

Pam leaves a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, great niece, and great nephews to cherish her memory. She leaves behind “her boys” whose lives she has forever touched, Amory and Armani. She will continue to live on through her brother and sisters David, Felicia, Malinda, Shannon, Damon, Robin, Regina. She leaves her mother Shirley Smith and father Milton Brown to forever cherish their beautiful daughter.
