Pamela was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, friend, and a dedicated nurse for 30 years. She devoted her life to caring for others, both through her profession as a nurse and within her family, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, compassion, and unwavering love.

Her joy and love also extended to her four great-grandchildren, Harmony Emberton, Kali Jurgensmeyer, Damien Jurgensmeyer, and Elliot Collazo-Daesch. Pamela also leaves behind her sisters, Priscilla (Bob) Pearson and Patricia Thurau, as well as a host of other family members and friends who cherished her deeply.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Dennis W. King, whose memory she carried in her heart; her father, Arthur Montgomery Boyd, Sr.; her mother, Dorothy Irene Boyd; her brother, Arthur M. Boyd, Jr.; and her brother-in-law, Harry Thurau.

Pamela’s legacy lives on through the family she loved so deeply and the many lives she touched through her work as a nurse and her generous spirit.
