Pamela Gustafson

Pamela "PammieSue" Gustafson left dementia behind on January 19th to become a true angel. She was a wonderful wife to Joe Gustafson for 50 years, an amazing mother to her children, Rachel and Eli, and the very best friend and sister anyone could ask for. Her 4-legged best friend Sasha never left her side. Pam made her home in Albuquerque in 1971 when she took a leap of faith, leaving her family at 19 years old to move across the country from Virginia with Joe. She volunteered in the school system for many years, and helped countless children learn to read. She was beautiful and independent, and she warmed many hearts and homes in her short 68 years on Earth. Her brilliant smile lit up every room, and she was always ready to lend an ear or a hand to those in need. In lieu of sending flowers, please consider donating to the Alzheimer's Association, or any cause you feel strongly about. Pam was a giver, and a lover and a fighter, and this world was better for having her in it.
