Pam was such a lovely lady, so genuine and caring. So selfless!
I've only had the pleasure of knowing Pam for about 3 years I met her in the pool at Waterworld. Pam loved her pool time.
I'm greatful to have known you.
Much love to you Pam and your family especially the grand children you are so proud of!
I'm glad you are at peace now.

Pam was an inspirational wahine toa with a heart of gold who loved and supported the children, teachers and their families. She had incredible drive and energy to build the Campus Crèche into a space where creativity and learning could thrive. She was an unstoppable force and could coax Vice Chancellors and the Facilities team into supplying building materials, paint, leftover carpets and just a little bit more space and just another room. She believed that through quality education with more resources, more learning opportunities and starting young we could transform lives. It was always about and for the children. Whangaia ka tupu, ka puawai That which is nurtured will grow and blossom.
We were part of the Creche family for seven years and it was a wonderful experience, with lasting happy memories of fun times, amazing Christmas parties and children making lifelong friends. Deepest sympathy to the family.
