Pamela is preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Patty Howe, and brothers Freddy and Doug.

Pam was born on June 6, 1950, in Elmira, New York and was the third of six kids. Her family moved from New York to California when she was seven years old. Pam will always be remembered as a creative, loving, fiercely loyal friend, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and wife. She loved making her own greeting cards and holiday decorations in a craft room that would make Martha Stewart jealous. She enjoyed book club and wine nights with her friends, hosting holiday gatherings with her family, music, movies, and her beloved dogs Buster and Ginger.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, June 10, 12pm at the Alameda Masonic Lodge #167, 37419 Fremont Blvd., in Fremont.
