Most of Barry's football games at Northeastern and Central State University and lots of bleacher time while Shane was playing Juco baseball and his last 2 years at Central State University. Her last great love was riding on the back of the Harley with Cecil. She enjoyed riding with her beloved sister-in-law Rita and her husband Walt and a host of other 'HOG' friends while cruising about through many states and backroads. She lived life to the fullest, enjoying life, family, and friends. She was a wine connoisseur who appreciated al varieties of vino. She absolutely loved to go 'boot scootin' and almost never missed an episode of her favorite show, NCIS. Pam-Pam's beautiful, loving heart touched the lives of many, and she will be deeply and forever missed by all those who knew and loved her.
