My sincerest condolences to the Benjamin family. Although I did not have the opportunity to meet Pam, I have known her daughter Monette for many years, and Monette always told me wonderful things about her mom. To all who knew Pam, may your memories with her and of her bring you joy, and may Pam rest in peace.

I am so very sad to hear of Pam’s passing, and sorry for your loss. She was a very kind, compassionate and loving friend and mentor to me, and I am so very grateful to have had her in my life. We shared a love of dogs and helped each other with litters of puppies. I so regret not connecting with her more over the last couple of years. I will remember her with love.

9 Years ago I phoned Pam, looking to purchase one of her precious mini Aussies. She interviewed me on the phone and I received 'permission' to come make a selection. I drove there in a blinding snowstorm and met the warmest, most gentle individual who warmed the winter night. She smiled gently when I asked for our pup, graciously reminding me that I may transact with her but that her pups always remain her pups 😁. How right she was. Pam became a precious friend to our family, and every compliment about the nature of our furry son let me to say "Well, let me tell you about Pam, and then you will understand." A kind and generous soul, someone with a heart full of life and a wonderful, lifegiving twinkle in her eyes. The world needs more Pam's, and what a great loss that she is no longer with is. Pam made a difference by simply being. To her family, may God provide you with strength, comfort and wonderful memories.

Monette, Ariane, Landis and family - I am so deeply sorry for yours and your family’s loss on the passing of your incredible Mom. I feel like I know you 3 because your mom shared such wonderful parts about you during our time together at Fraser Health. Her love for you and her family was always displayed as unwavering.
My personal note about Pam…My dear friend, my co-worker, my “work-mom”. I’ve never known a more graceful, independent, strong woman.
Pam was someone who believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. She looked out for me. She cared and listened during some of the hardest years of my life. One of the last times we spoke she told me she was proud of me.
She invited my son and I to play with puppies, included us in her 60th birthday celebration, and we shared some great times over hikes, long days at work, and Christmas parties.
I hope to be even an inkling as wonderful as her in my life.
I’ll miss you always, Pam. Until we meet again one day; rest easy, free from pain. ♥️

I am so saddened to learn this about my cousin Pam. I looked up to her very much as a child. She was so pretty and so full of life. I admired her. My heart goes out to her children and grandchildren. Sending love.

My deepest condolences to you, Pam's grandchildren and family. She loved you all so very much and shined with your constant love and care for her. Pam was kind, intelligent and dedicated to her family, friends and her work at Fraser Health. I was honoured to work with her and especially to be her friend for many years. We shared many days of working hard, laughing, snacking, discussing life and sharing happy and sad times. Pam was a treasured friend and I will miss her. This holiday season will be bittersweet as I hang all the Christmas tree decorations that we had so much fun exchanging over the years and remember December 2023 where we sat by my tree enjoying a visit and admiring my collection of ornaments. So many happy memories!
Rest in peace my dear friend.
