Pamela Victoria Booker, the beloved daughter of the late William J. Booker and Jeanette Newman Booker was born in Baltimore, Maryland June 5, 1955. "Pam", as she was affectionately known by family and friends was the eldest of six children. In the early hours of Tuesday, January 5, 2021, Pam peacefully entered into heavenly rest at University of Maryland Hospital with her daughter and family at her side. From a young child, Pam attended John Wesley United Methodist Church. Under the guidance of her parents, Pam along with her siblings began to build a relationship with the Lord. She love going to church and continued her spiritual journey by attending Sunday school, summer Bible School and participating in other spiritual studies. Accepting Christ as her Savior, Pam joined John Wesley as a teen and remained a lifelong member. Pam attended Baltimore City Public Schools and was a proud graduated of Mergenthaler Vocational-Technical Senior High School Class of 1973 Licensed Practical Nursing Program. While in high school she also worked as a Candy Striper at a local nursing home to insure that she would achieve her lifelong aspiration to become a nurse. Upon graduating, she was immediately employed as a LPN at a nursing home facility in Pikesville, Maryland. In 1978, Pamela decided to join the U.S. Army. Holding the rank of Sergeant E6, she worked in Washington at the D.C. Headquarters of the Army National Guard first as an Army Recruiter and later as a Clinical Specialist. March 15, 1980, changed Pam's life forever. God gifted her with the birth of a beautiful baby girl, who she lovingly named Heather Monet Martin, the light of her life.

While Pam had strong work ethics and was a bit of a workaholic, she first and foremost was dedicated to being a good mother to her daughter. Pam was honorably discharged from the army in 1981 and she returned to her first love nursing. Her employment as a dialysis nurse at the Independence Dialysis Center in Baltimore, would allow her to spend more time with her daughter and be closer to her family. For the past thirty years, Pam courageously lived with chronic health challenges without letting them take over her life. She was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, then with Myasthenia Gravis and in the last three years, Lymph edema. We will always remember her strength and fortitude as she dealt with each illness determined that she would recover. Hospitalized for two years, she had to learn to walk, talk and do simple task again. She did it. She next decided that she would attend her daughter's elementary school graduation and she did. She was determined to learn to drive again and regain as much of her independence as possible. She did it. With her strong faith in God and the support of her family, she did it. She never gave up. We forever celebrate her strength. Being ill was something that happened to her. She never let her illness define her. As much as possible she lived her life fully. She loved to crochet, to read, to solve crossword puzzles, to do art and craft. When she was able, she loved to travel with daughter, especially on a cruise. Most of all, she greatly loved taking care of her cats Kayla and Alex.
