Get to know Pam..

Pamela Hawkes is originally from upstate New York. She grew up in a large family on a milking dairy farm. She started working in the Health Care Industry at an early age. She worked with her Mother as a Private Care Aide in Private Duty as a teenager. She loved the personal care and "Going the extra mile" motto that she was able to apply with her patients in the smaller health care settings. 

It was in New York where she met her first husband George Doxstader. Pam and George had 5 children. Pam received her nursing education in New York a few years after her husband unexpectedly passed away. She continued her nursing career and education to include Geriatric Studies and Nutrition. She then worked in a large nursing home, but fell in love with the one-on-one care that she experienced while working Home Health as a Private Nurse. She moved to beautiful Cache Valley for the benefit of her chldren 15 years ago.

While in Cache Valley, Pam owned and operated Country Garden Retreat, also a Private Care Nursing Home. After marrying Dave Hawkes, whom is a Land Surveyor, they settled in a quiet, friendly neighborhood in Farr West, Utah where she has opened Memory Lane Care Home. 

Pam enjoys being outside enjoying nature, gardening, hiking, biking and doing winter sports. Her hobbies include (but are not limited to): knitting, crocheting, jewelry making, wood-working, painting, cooking/inventing new recipes, sewing and attending musical and social events.

Her 2 miniature Yorkies are often mistaken for being felines since they love to be close by and spend quiet time with the residents and family. 

She also keeps a backyard flock of chickens that are entertainment to all. 

Pam's children are grown now and all live close enough to have frequent family get-togethers....

.....that include an ever-growing number of members including 7 grandchildren, which are a delight to have visit with her and her residents. 

Pam's 2 sons are in the United States Military and are both currently deployed to the Middle East. They are greatly missed, but loved and supported by family and many friends. We eagerly await their return home.
