Pamela Jean Schossow was born May 25, 1963, in Fort Dodge, Iowa. She was baptized at St. Paul Lutheran Church and educated there through the eighth grade and later earned her high school diploma. During Pam's life, she overcame cancer, drug addictions, mental and physical abuse and grew into a mom everyone wished they had. She loved her children's friends as much as she loved them and always took care of those around her. She cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren. Being someone who liked to help and care for people, she became a housekeeper, a CNA and she was a Soldier for the Salvation Army volunteering countless hours in the kitchen, food pantry and anywhere else they needed her. Pamela enjoyed the outdoors. She rode horses and raced barrels. She wasn't afraid of anyone or anything. Above all else came her family. She will be dearly missed by them all.
