Pam married James Porter in 1977. They resided in Pocatello, Idaho and had three children. Pam spent her time in Idaho as a devoted mother supporting her children with their schooling, extracurricular activities, and sports, more specifically baseball. Pams caring nature led her to work at Porters Daycare. She eventually opened her own in-home daycare as she loved working and caring for children. Pam and Jim later divorced. Pam relocated to Arizona in 1999. There she spent many a day with her daughter and grandchildren. Pam also met her partner, Craig Masek in 2007.

Pam lived life through the simple pleasures; talking to her children, cooking, and basking in the sun. Pam was a loving and compassionate person, devoted mother, daughter and friend, always thinking of others first. As a result of her generous spirit and pleasant personality, she was loved by many.
