Pamela attended Northfield Mount Hermon where she made many lifelong friends.  She graduated from the University of Vermont and received a MBA from Columbia University. Pamela spent many years fundraising and grant writing for museums and non-profits in New York and Boston. Later she ran a successful consulting business specializing in non-profit management.

Pamela had a wonderful curiosity about people and the world around her.  She found pleasure in her gardening, photography and travel. She was a charming conversationalist who truly cared for and listened to family and friends.  Pamela’s greatest joy and pride came from her three children’s accomplishments and especially her adored grandson, “little man.”  Pamela was a loving aunt to many nieces and nephews and would often spend afternoons traveling to their activities and events.
