Pamela "Pam" Jeanne Medlam passed away on November 6, 2023 in Wichita, Kansas.

Pam was born July 29, 1934 in Wichita, Kansas to Frances Marion Wirth. She was adopted at the age of 12 by Lorene Page and Clarence Howard Best. She was raised in the Wichita area where she attended school and was a 1952 graduate of North High School.

In 1953, Pam met Vernon Dallas Medlam and they were married in July of 1953.  She shared the love for the outdoors with her spouse and children.  She enjoyed family vacations that included camping and canoeing.  Many family members fondly remember her talking about the Mini Bears, Pam’s name for chipmunks, and breathing in the smell of the camp fire.   

Pamela spent her retirement years with her multiple grandchildren and close friends.  She was well known to lovingly create quilts for all of her grandchildren. When she wasnt quilting or reading, she was outside tending to her yard. 

Pamela was predeceased by her spouse Vernon Dallas Medlam and her granddaughter Nicole Duron. She is survived by her children Clinton Medlam, Paula Stewart, Jan (Sarah) Medlam, very dear friends Earl (Becky) Blanford, and Lisa Lomax (Ruby Menesini), 7 grandchildren, multiple great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild.   Pamela will be dearly missed by all who loved her.
