Pam Richard, 62, Iron Mountain, Michigan, passed away Thursday, July 24, 2014, at Freeman’s Nursing Home after a year-long battle with lung cancer.

She was envied for her cheesecake baking expertise and sought after for her sharp wit and spunky spirit. Pam provided strength and support to the people in her life. She had wonderful friends and family who loyally stood by her and made her final days comfortable. Pam always had Allison Waliczek, Laurie Michaud, Jessica Bourgeois and Aimee Perron at her side during her final days. The world was a much more beautiful and entertaining place with Pam in it, she will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

Pam was a wonderful, supportive, hard working mother and an amazing grandmother that adored every moment she spent with her grandchildren. She is survived by two daughters; Debbie Robbins and Michelle Baker; one son, Glenn Wright and four grandchildren, Justin, Gavin, Megan and Maya.
