Pam Dodge passed away February 11, 2023 with her best friend, her husband Charles at her side.

Pam was born April 19, 1952 in Eugene, Oregon. She grew up in Cottage Grove living there all of her life.

Pam fell in love with Charles at a young age and they were married on January 19, 1967. Their first son, Bryan, was born on April 16, 1967. Pam was so happy being a mom and wife. Their second son, Brandon was born on August 16, 1973. They had so much fun being a family.

Pam had a green thumb and could grow beautiful flowers and a bountiful vegetable garden. She would preserve the produce for her family. She was a voracious reader, often completing several books in a day. She also loved to raise chickens throughout the years.
