Pam has been a member of CUUPS for over 20 years; first in Unitarian Universalist Church in Bloomington, IN and now at First Unitarian of Des Moines.  She served 7 years on the National Board of Trustees of CUUPS.  

She joined Sacred Bridges CUUPS in 2013. Pam is a lover of learning. She is a licensed massage therapist specializing in oncology, hospice and pain management, AND holds a CDL, just for fun. Pam is a gifted psychic, a very successful spell caster and a creative ritualist. She is currently working with a prominent publishing company on a new book (shhh it’s a secret). She loves working with glass (hot and cold), all things handicraft; particularly crocheting, sewing, counted cross stitch and jewelry creation.  If you want to take time to create with her, she is welcoming the company. 

A recent widow, she is learning how to renegotiate life while focusing on her 5 children and 9 grandchildren; along with her very large Bernese Mountain dog and 5 freaking felines.
