Pam’s kind and caring nature touched the lives of all who knew her. She was born on March 17, 1958, in Flint, Michigan, the daughter of the late Billy and Mary Katherine Simpson.
Growing up in Davidson, MI, Pam, and her twin sister were deeply involved in their church community. They actively participated in youth groups, with Pam taking on leadership roles in organizing retreats and fundraisers.
