Pam was born to Seymour and Darlene Ferley on March 28, 1956, in Albert Lea. She lived her first 19 years on a farm near Emmons, where she also attended school. After graduating from high school, she attended North Iowa Area Community College and studied nursing. Pam worked at Lutheran Retirement Home in Northwood as the charge nurse and at North Iowa Medical Center, where she was a surgical scrub nurse.
In 1980, Pam moved to California to receive special medical care for her spine. In 1988, she met her husband, Thomas Badik, in Pasadena. Pam and Tom married on Oct. 8, 1988. Tom preceded her in death in 1994.
Pam was a member of Lutheran Church of the Foothills in La Canada, California, until her death. She was an avid sports fan and could often be found outdoors on long walks while her health allowed. She was a loving wife, daughter, sister, niece, aunt and friend, and will be dearly missed.
