Recently, she enjoyed the summers watching the races at Canterbury Park. Pam had a keen sense of fashion and was always well dressed in bright colors. She enjoyed seeing Broadway shows and had season tickets to the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis. Pam cherished time with her daughter, Chelsea the most. Whether it was at a competition or watching her succeed in school, Pam was always so proud.
She will be missed by her daughter Chelsea Vilchis; brothers, Rodney (Vickie) Reisnouer and Larry (Linda) Reisnouer.
Pam is preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Eveline.
