She lived on the family farm 25 miles south of Mandan. She attended Flasher Public Schools where she later graduated with honors. After graduating, Pamela worked at Target, BNSF, and later Tesoro Refinery. Due to an injury, Pamela could no longer work at Tesoro Refinery, so she started her own video business she called, "Remember When." She enjoyed her video business where she created videos of weddings, graduations, birthdays, and all type of events. This was truly a joy in her life. Pamela spent many hours tending to her flowers and gardening. Her pickled beets and beans were the best and enjoyed by all. She loved crocheting blankets, pot holders, and hats for her family. Baking and cooking were one of her greatest pastimes and we will always remember Pamela for her delicious cookies which she was well-known for. Pamela loved spending time with her family and friends. She enjoyed being involved in her nieces and nephews lives and events. She was outgoing and generous and everyone she met was thought of as a friend. Pamela was always willing to listen to anyone's problems and to help in a minutes notice. With her heart on her sleeve, she shared her faith through her unconditional love for others. We will always remember that warm smile and beautiful laughter. Pamela will be greatly missed by her father, Richard; her two sisters, MaryAnn Rod Friesz and Brenda Sid Miller; her brother, George Renee; her nieces and nephews, Melissa Friesz, Ryan Natalie Friesz, Sarah Ryan Holzer, Amy Friesz and friend, Jake, Jessica Tyler Beckler, Rocky Bullinger and friend, Brittany, Casey Heidi Miller, and Dustin Jenny Miller; special stepsons, Brandon and Dillon Thomas; 10 great-nieces and nephews; many uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends; and her special pet, her dog, Sparky. She was preceded in death by her mother, Carolyn Bullinger; grandparents, George and Rose Leingang, John Bullinger and Margaret Hoffman; aunts, Irene Doll, Eileen Leingang, Janice Fitterer; cousins, Eric Leingang, Mike Leingang, Carrie Leingang, and James Wycarus.
