I am a friend of Chuck’s and a co-worker at Farm Bureau. My memories of Pam are how proud she was of her son and how excited she was about what a fantastic person he had grown up to be. I know she was so proud of all of her children. She was a wonderful person and an amazing mother. She will be dearly remembered by so many.
Pam was such a wonderful and dear person! David, Stevie & family, we are thinking of all of you at this extremely difficult time. With our very deepest condolences. Danny & Patti Jackson
Pam was a delightful person to work with; her smile and laughter were infectious and her dedication to her work and her work ethic admirable. She was devoted to her family and lived life to the fullest. I know she will be sorely missed by her co-workers. Larry C. Terry (retired)
Pam was the first person I met at Farm Bureau and she trained me. The first lesson I learned from her was to be thankful for my job and behave as if the president of the company were watching. Pam was wonderful to work with and I am a better person because of her. David, Stevie, Chuck, please know how much a joy Pam was to work with and it will not be the same without her.
My sympathy goes to the family. Pam was such a good person. She was always willing to help anyone when they needed it. Her cheerful personality was contagious. She will be greatly missed by her co-workers. Shirley Cochran
Pam was an incredible person, and her optomism was infectious. It was a blessing to know her. I am thankful for the opportunity of knowing and working with her. My thoughts, prayers, and support go out to David, Stevie, Chuck, and the rest of her family and close friends. With deepest sympathy, Jeanna Richardson
I worked with Pam for so many years, we seemed like sisters (we both had the last name Schmitt for a time). I enjoyed talking to Pam and hearing stories of her children and grandchildren. Pam knew everything and anything about the printshop and mail room. I will miss her.
i started at farm bureau a little over 3 months ago, and in that time built a great relationship with pam. i wish i couldve known her longer but she left a lasting imprint on my life reguardless. with her it was always the little things she did that just simply made work enjoyable. she was like a mother to all of us. i will truly miss seeing her smiling face and cutting a bad joke or two with her. my prayers and thoughts go out to her family and friends for this untimely loss -jeremy shotts-
Pam was my sister and I really don’t know where to start or how I feel right now. To me she will always be Pammie. In the last few years we have become very close. We took a trip each year to Georgia so see our other sister. I always told her, ‘You are my favorite traveling buddy.’ We have gone through so many good times and bad times together. Pammie had a very special leadership quality. She always wanted to go see different places and do different things. She was a very special sister and I will truly, truly, truly miss her. I really want my friends and family to know that since our mother had a stroke a year and half ago Pammie was there for her. That tells a lot about the kind person she was. Love and miss you so much, Sister Janice (Jennie)

Even though Pammie and I were miles apart, we still had a close relationship. It meant a lot to me that she and my other sister came so many miles to be with me. We were able to create a lot of fond memories. She will be missed greatly and I will always remember all the trips we took together. One thing that always make me laugh when I think of Pammie is the time she told my husband Herb that she would make him out of toilet paper. She was a very special sister and I truly, truly miss her. Pammie I know you are up there with Daddy, Homer and Belinda watching over us. We all love you so much! Your sis, Carol Burke
Pam was the type of parent that you prayed each student could have had. She was such an important part of Trinity Christian School. We could always count on her to be at each and every event. I wish all the students could have an opportunity to have a mother who cared so much. We are dedicating this volleyball season to Pam. She was such a blessing to each one of us. No matter what the outcome of the game, she always had kind words to say to each girl. I guess God was needing a cheerleader for His team in Heaven, but we are going to greatly miss her. Deanna Kitchens Teacher at Trinity Christian School
David and family, Mike and I cannot express our sympathy enough to each of you. Pam was an incredible friend, devoted wife, loving mother and co-worker. We shared many talks together about family, of which she was ever proud. Family meant the world to her! She was one of the most considerate, kind and loving people anyone could ever want to meet. We feel forever grateful to have had Pam in our lives. Please know how much we will miss her. We are always here for you! Know of our love and prayers. Tim Argenbright and Mike Howell
First off I want to say I’m going to miss my protector very much, and what I mean by my protector, she was always there protecting me from any harm, from the time we was small children, all through school, especially in junior high, she spent a lot of time in the office because she wouldn’t let the other kids bully me or push me around. She even was there for me after we moved away from home protecting me from some of the men in my life who would be cruel to me. I’m going to miss my great protector so very much. I know she is up there with our heavenly Father watching over all of us and protecting us all. She is gone from our world , but she will never be forgotten. I love my Pammie and miss her so much. Brenda Myers, Pammie’s Big Sis
I just want to say how much I’m going to miss Pam. I looked forward to Sundays because I knew I would get to see her every Sunday with our visits with mom. Our last Sunday together we went to the go-cart races together, she got tickled at the little kids.I’m really going to miss her a lot. Debbie Forrester, Pammy’s baby sis.
Our thoughts go out to family and loved ones. Pam was always a fun person, and a friend to all of us in the Broken Soul Band. We will keep Stevie and David, and family in our hearts and prayers. Chris Hovey, and Dan Farris
