Born in 1944 in Detroit, Michigan, to her parents Julia and John Martens, Pam attended high school at St. Mary’s High School in Royal Oak, Michigan, along with her sister Carol (Martens) Morris.
In her local community, Pam volunteered her time to the Pine Island Food Pantry. Pam enjoyed cooking and spending time with friends and family, and loved playing games, especially with her grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her father and mother, and is survived by her husband Buster, sister Carol, sons Tony and Jason Stark and their wives Caren and Kim, and grandchildren Justin, Drew, Julia, and Kayla Stark.
Per her wishes, there was no formal service. A celebration of life will be planned for a still-to-be-determined date in the future. Her ashes will lay in rest at the Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, Michigan.
