I am so sorry to hear about Pam’s passing. She was such a wonderful person to work with over the years. She always had great advice about Judicial College courses and kept many of us on time for preparing materials and learning how to teach successfully.

To the family of Pam Thurman Vaughn,
I was so very sorry to just find out yesterday of Pam’s passing. She was a classmate of mine, one of our cheerleaders and always such a sweetheart! Pam will never be forgotten, as she brought so much joy over the years to so many people and was so much a part of our lives in school at all sporting events, as she helped us cheer on our high school athletes! 🙂
My thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family during this difficult time. God bless you all.
