it was in 1959,<br />

when divorce<br />

was a terrible<br />

thing, especially<br />

for a good little<br />

Quaker girl’<br />

In December 2006, at the age of 77, she was<br />

baptised by her daughter Penny and her<br />

grandson Aidan, with her son-in-law Rodger<br />

conducting the service.<br />

And she’s never looked back since! After her<br />

baptism, she became a covenant member of<br />

the <strong>Jesus</strong> Fellowship. She also started to attend<br />

a meeting for over-55 members of the church<br />

in Northampton; it’s now her responsibility to<br />

find people to speak at these meetings.<br />

“One thing that really blessed me was a<br />

prayer group called ‘Zest’,” explains Pam, “It’s<br />

this group of older women in the church who<br />

meet together regularly and pray for different<br />

things. When they knew I wanted to move to<br />

Northampton, they prayed I would find the<br />

right house. And I did!”<br />

Pam is now a member of Zest and has<br />

formed relationships with members of the<br />

group that have held her through difficult<br />

times, such as her third husband’s death.<br />

Definitely not one to settle down, Pam’s<br />

house is “an open home” and she often has<br />

young people coming over for meals, or people<br />

that need a place to stay.<br />

“I’ve been through a lot, but I’m so happy<br />

now. I think it’s lovely that at my age I’m not<br />

lonely at all; I have so many friends and I’m so<br />

busy,” smiles Pam, “<strong>Life</strong> is wonderful!” JL<br />
