Pamela Jo Lynch, the daughter of Richard and Keeka (Greehey) Lynch, was born September 6, 1950, in Fort Dodge. She attended Fort Dodge schools, Iowa Central Community College and received her RN degree from the University of Iowa School of Nursing. On October 10, 1970, Pam was united in marriage to Donald Peters at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Fort Dodge. Pam was employed as a registered nurse at Cherokee Mental Health Center, as a floor nurse and as an IV therapist. Her greatest passion for nursing came in her service as a home care and hospice nurse.

Pam treasured time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren. She also enjoyed many crafts including scrapbooking, quilting, ceramics, making jewelry and painting (including watching Bob Ross with her family each Saturday). Her love for bees will always be remembered by her loving family.
