Pamela "Pam" Arnold, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on July 3, 2025, at the age of 66, surrounded by family in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Born on June 21, 1959, in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, Pam was the beloved daughter of Richard and the late Patricia Hoover. She grew up alongside her brothers, Tom and the late David, with whom she shared a bond that defined her early years.

Pam's life truly blossomed when she met and married the love of her life, Michael. Together, they built a life full of warmth, strength, and resilience. After leaving Minnesota, they made their home in Dallas, Texas before settling in Tulsa, Oklahoma where Pam's garden bloomed as brightly as her spirit, and where she created a life rich in family, friendship, and joy.

Pam was a loving mother to her daughters, Jennifer and the late Meaghan, and poured her heart into raising not only her girls, but also her cherished granddaughters, Paityn and Riley, whom she and Mike lovingly raised in their Tulsa home. Known as "Nana" she shared her warmth and constant words of encouragement with all of her grandchildren, including Devin of Dallas, Texas and Hudson of Bismarck, North Dakota, each of whom brought her immeasurable pride.

Her nurturing didn't end with people — if you knew Pam, you knew Bandit, her faithful four-legged companion. Their bond was unbreakable, their couch-cuddles legendary.

Pam had a special gift for friendship. She treasured her lunches with her circle of dear friends and found joy in good conversation with those she loved. Her warmth, honesty, and sense of humor made her the heart of every room she entered.

She is survived by her husband Michael, daughter Jennifer, grandchildren Paityn, Riley, Devin, and Hudson, father Richard, and brother Tom. She was preceded in death by her mother Pat, daughter Meaghan, and brother David.

Pam's life was a testament to love, perseverance, and the quiet beauty of everyday moments. She leaves behind a legacy of beauty of everyday moments. She leaves behind a legacy of connectedness, compassion, and strength that will continue to live on in all who knew her.

A celebration of Pam's life will be held on: Saturday, August 16, 2025 from 12pm-2pm at Cremation Society of Oklahoma's Garden Chapel located at 9120 S Toledo Ave, Tulsa, OK 74137.
