About	Pam Brown, daughter of James Lillico, Jr. and Alice Knuepel Lillico Springer, passed away after combating mantle cell lymphoma for several years. Born in 1945 and was raised in the Elk Grove/Franklin area outside Sacramento, CA. Some of her family had been in the farming community since the mid-1800s. She attended Franklin Grade School, graduated from Elk Grove High School, and started her career as a registered nurse at Sacramento County Hospital now UC Davis Medical Center. She also worked in New York, Caribou, Maine, and Portland, Oregon at OHSU, St. Vincent's Hospital, and finally retiring from the Multnomah Co. Health Dept., NE Clinic. She met her husband, Mark Brown, in Sacramento and they were married in 1970. After living in Maine for 3 years, they moved to Beaverton where they remained until her death. Her greatest source of pride and joy were her children: Derek (Los Angeles) and Deana (Boise). In retirement, Pam enjoyed researching genealogy and was able to locate a number of previously unknown living relatives including one in Scotland. Pam also enjoyed the Oregon Zoo. She volunteered as a Zoo Guide doing animal observations and answering guest questions. For a number of years, she also volunteered with Whale Watching Spoken Here to count the gray whales migrating along the Oregon coast and provide visitors with educational information. In life, Pam enjoyed time with close friends, a good laugh, sunshine, and her family. Survivors include her husband Mark, son Derek, daughter Deana, and her sister Bonnie Pesely (Mike), and her family Joelle Mendoza (Juan), Steve Pesely (Lynn), and Nick. At her request, there will be no service. Always a California girl at heart, her remains will be interred at the Franklin Cemetery near her childhood home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to any animal welfare organization of your choice, the Oregon Zoo, or just hug your loved ones." - Information from the Sacramento Bee
