She is survived by two sons; Eric (Amber) Campbell and Rocky (Melissa) Campbell, four grandchildren; Keegan (Samantha Brown) Campbell, Madison Campbell, Brooklyn Campbell and Harper Campbell, siblings; Marty (Bill) Tyler, Marsha (Tracy) Collier and Scott (Soni) Rider, several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her son; Gary Jr. and her parents; Earl A. and Shirley M. (Budd) Rider. Pam served the nation in the US Navy during the Vietnam War. She was a draftsperson at Gilbert-Commonwealth and later at CertainTeed Corporation. She also worked many years as a dedicated home health caregiver for the Compassionate Care Company in and around Cadillac, Michigan, where she developed a family relationship with her clients and her employer. She enjoyed northern Michigan and loved spending time at the family cabin where she pursued her enduring interest in deer hunting and gardening. Pam loved any family time with her sons, grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews. She was a fixture at her grandchildren's various sporting events and even ventured to New York to attend one of the games. It is said you never left her home hungry. She was an avid fan of the Mighty Spartans (Go Green for Pam). A Celebration of her life will be held Wednesday, September 8, 2021 at the Richard Smith American Legion Post #29 (3200 Lansing Ave, Jackson). The family will receive friends at 4pm with services at 5 pm, followed by dinner and fellowship. Veterans Military Honors will be offered by the Jackson County American Legion Ritual Team. Contributions in her memory are directed to the Jackson County Veteran's Office Van Fund (1715 Lansing Ave, 2nd floor, Jackson, MI 49202) to help transport veterans to their medical appointments.
