After beauty school, she met her husband, Glenn Padgett, in Grand Junction at a church New Year's Eve party. They were engaged on Feb. 14, 1984. Pam and Glenn were married on May 26, 1984, on the Barney Ranch. They had three children, Ashley, Travis and Robert. Pam and Glenn moved to Gypsum in May 1994.
Shortly after moving, Pam started working for the Eagle County school district. She started at Gypsum Elementary School, and then she moved to Red Hill Elementary School as their librarian when it opened in 2000. She spent lots of time helping kids grow their love of books.
Pam enjoyed helping kids learn how to read. Not only was she loved by the many kids in the church and community, but she was also loved by her family.
