As the daughter of an Army Sergeant, she grew up in several places. Whenever her dad was stationed at home, she lived in Lawton, Ok. When he was away, her family would move in with her beloved “Papa” who lived on a farm outside of Paris, TX. She was also given the chance to live in Ansbach, Germany. Here she made lifelong friends and many happy memories.

She turned her love for animals into a career. She began volunteering at a veterinary clinic while in high school. This led to her being offered a paying position which she kept until leaving for college at Texas A&M University where she studied animal science. There she met many other like-minded people and made many friends. After graduation, she went to work for a friend’s veterinary clinic in Lockhart, TX. While in Lockhart, she met someone that made her laugh and obviously cared for her a great deal. The two bought a home in Cedar Creek where she was hired as a veterinary technician at Hwy 71 Veterinary Hospital. After 40 years of working at veterinary clinics, her health forced her to retire early. But she couldn't leave the animals. She continued pet sitting whenever she could, not just dogs and cats but horses, donkeys, goats, chickens and some of the most adorable potbellied pigs. She just flat out loved animals. Her mother once said, “Pam, you’d save a drowning animal before you’d save me.” Pam’s response was, “Well, Mom, you can swim.”
