Pamela loved nature, many days you would see her, camera in hand, taking her casual stroll photographing wildlife through the parks, and she has many “Kodak” moments for her efforts.

Her parents noticed at an early age of only two or three, she would take pencil and notepad and what she drew received raving responses. She won the first place blue ribbon trophy at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for her exhibit of three Arabian studs, at the age of seventeen. Her latest and final masterpiece is captioned “Wind” and this palomino portrait will always remind us of her passion for these beautiful animals. Pamela loved Christian music.
