Born on March 22, 1962, in Monmouth, Ill., she was the daughter of Donald M. and Shirley A. Conners Stokes. On Dec. 21, 1981, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Burlington, she married Bruce E. Turner.
Pam was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Her heart was loving, caring and pure. Pam truly cared for everyone she came in contact with. For several years Pam owned and operated an in-home daycare and had recently decided it was time to retire. Her daycare children were her life and she loved each child like they were her own. Pam was the glue to the family. She enjoyed hosting huge gatherings inviting all family and friends. Most of all Pam’s family was her constant and she was their constant.
