Pam was born on June 3, 1950, at the Cresco Hospital in Cresco, to Clarence Delbert Bronner and Grace Marie (Larsen) Bronner. She grew up on a farm northwest of Cresco. She had many fond memories of her dad, especially how he would dance and sing to her when they were in the barn together milking cows. She remembered with fondness going to swap meets with her mom.
Pam lived most of her life in rural Cresco, where she attended country school and was confirmed at the Zion United Methodist Church near her home. At about the age of 18 she rented a small place near her parent’s farm and lived there several years. She later moved to the Decorah, Iowa area.
Pam was a person of diverse talents. During her lifetime she worked at a variety of occupations. She worked at Peter Produce in Lime Springs, Iowa in the egg division, candling, packing, boiling and peeling hard-boiled eggs for resale. She was also employed in Harmony, Minn. at a chicken processing plant. Pam worked for the Humane Society as the Animal Control Officer for Harmony, as well as Lime Springs and Cresco. Children in Howard County may remember her, she drove school bus for the Howard-Winneshiek school district for eight-and-a-half years. 
Pam loved most animals but had a special affinity for horses; she did not have that same love for cows. She was an accomplished horsewoman and horse trainer. She trained her riding horses to bow down on their front legs to make it easier for the rider to get on. Shehad many pets through the years, befriending fawns, raccoons, rabbits, goats, poultry and at least one skunk. In contrast to her tomboy character, she loved making jewelry, selling some of her work at swap meets and flea markets.
Pam suffered from some health problems and disabilities in her later years but never let them interfere with her activities, her pleasant state of mind or her sense of humor. She was a caring person, always willing to assist anyone needing help. She will be missed.
Pam is survived by a sister, Cindy Bronner of Solon, Iowa; a brother, Mark Bronner of Cresco; a foster brother, Dan Schwasinger of West Allis, Wis.; a nephew, Derek Bronner; a grandniece, Natalie Bronner; and aunts, uncles, cousins and many good friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Kathy Bronner.
