Pam Ivy was not deceased at the time of this writing but in a nursing home in Wylie.
In 1983, after attending some softball games at Nimitz, she was hit by a car while crossing the street. She suffered a spine injury and lost motor functions of her extremities. After much painful therapy, she has somewhat regained the use of her hands, but as you might expect, it's not like it used to be.
She seems to remember her past or at least parts of it. Pam has been confined to a bed for close to 27 years and since her mother passed away, she has had very little visitation.
Sharing your memories of Pam (below) is very appreciated.

WOW You never know who's life you touch and not aware that is why you need to inspire everyone you know. Pam was so nice to me, I was a tomboy not very outgoing. My Family could not afford much but people like Pam are Angels, They make you feel like you are Loved There are Angels that come in your path of Life.We do not know why bad things happen to good People but we go through our trials with Faith and Know that God has a plan. Jeremiah 29:11.
He knows the plans he has for our lives.
You will always be a special memory from High School.
I am Praying for you

Such a wonderful and loving person you always were. I hate it so that you are unable to be up and doing all the nice and a little crazy, things that you loved. Know you are in my prayers and I care, if I lived closer I could visit and enjoy a nice chat God bless you sweetie, Sheila

Is Pam in Wylie? Did she get moved? Last October 2010, at the class reunion, a few of us girls went over to the nursing home by the old 183 drive in theater and visited with Pam. It's off of Shoaf or Shoal Drive just south of the 183 Hwy,

Pam was a friend in High School and a lovely human being . I was sorry to hear of her accident so long ago.

Pam, I and two other seniors (don’t recall their names) escaped Irving High in May of 1970 in my 1957 Ford for lunch at the great old restaurant Steak-Out, located as I recall in the Plymouth Park shopping area on Storey Road. Still have Pam’s comments in my 1970 yearbook. Great memories. Sorry to hear of her passing.

So sorry to hear of her passing, I was not in Pam's group, but I remember how sweet she was, always smiling and nice to anyone she met..you will be missed .....I know you are at peace and smiling down on us all....

So sorry you are gone; however, glad you are in a better place now. Your accident was tragic and devastated your quality of life. I'm so glad I got to rub hand lotion on you when I visited with Denise a few years ago. You seemed to enjoy the lotion and managed a big smile. Remember the rest of us as well. Everyone always thought highly of you for good reasons. Rest in peace, love, Vernene Parker Finger
