Pam was born in October of 1971, in Charleston, South Carolina, daughter of Kenn and Mary Jean Bell. She graduated in 1989 from Maroa-Forsyth High School. Pam was known for her strong faith and love of Christ spending many years working for New Beginnings Church of God as well as going on mission trips to New Mexico for the church, and she took great pride in her other job as a homemaker. She married Randall Lee Jenkins in May of 1997, and together they raised their beautiful family. When Pam’s disability made her unable to work she spent the rest of her days at home with her family and two dogs Junior and Bella. She enjoyed watching the food network channel, taking pictures and adding them to scrapbooks keeping records of all her special memories and baking.

Pam was truly one of a kind; her loving spirit made an impression on everyone she met. She never let her health complications dim her spirit and her beautiful smile lit up every room she was in. Pam was the epitome of love, kindness and compassion. She will be missed more than words can be described by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Survived by her husband Randall, her daughters; Lauren Jenkins and Kenzie (Gabe) Sutter, son; Peyton Jenkins, father; Kenn Bell, stepfather; Barry Spang, brothers; Pat and Jason Spang, and sisters; Juli Salmons and Kyndra Bell.

Preceded by her mother Mary Spang and daughter Ashley Angel.
