Pam Flegel AD ASTRA
Pam was a loving and compassionate person with a great sense of humour. She had a love for music from the very beginning and that never changed. Pam lived her life to make the world a better place and inspired all who loved her every single day. Pam had so much goodness, so much capacity to bring happiness to others and such a bright future. The world is a lesser place without her.
After graduating with a degree, she started her career with the John Howard Society (Connective) in British Columbia. Pam accomplished great success in her more than 14 years with the organization. She was deeply committed to helping others and had such compassion for everyone. Her work and success will live on and she will be remembered deeply within the organization and its’ future work.
When you think of Pam, celebrate the good memories you have of her. Remember that life is fragile and short and should be lived to the fullest.
