Pamela Marie Evans was born on May 1, 1951, in Escanaba, Mich., the daughter of George and Eula (Robinson) Nevala. She moved with her family to Frankford, S.D., at the age of 2.

Her full time job was raising her three sons. She enjoyed playing duplicate bridge, was in charge of the duplicate bridge club in Willmar for many years and was a bridge teacher. Pam had a love of flowers and great knowledge of plants. Pam and Maurice went on many cruises and family vacations.
