Pamela Crozier Nelson was born on December 15, 1962 in Stockton, California and passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on December 18, 2022 just three days after she turned 60.
She is survived by mother and stepfather, Sharon and Bill Scott. She leaves behind her husband, Craig Crozier. She was blessed with two children, Anthony (Crystal) Davenport of Manteca and Spencer Borba of Modesto and one grandson, Maxx Davenport. She is survived by her siblings, Tevani Liotard of Westley, Perri Scott of Manteca and Khris Rothdeutsch of Goleta and five nieces, Jaslynn Liotard-Hoppe, Mahlynn Blackburn, Madison Olenslager, Marleyna Putcha and Faith Putcha.
Pam grew up in Manteca and attended St. Anthony’s Catholic School, Sequoia and Lincoln Elementary School. She graduated from Manteca High in 1981. After her graduation, she enrolled in the United States Navy where she learned many life skills and helped prepare her for civilian life. While in the Navy, she married and had her son, Anthony. Pam welcomed another son, Spencer, in 1993. Being a single parent, Pam went to college to learn to be a medical transcriptionist for Emmanuel Hospital of Turlock. She loved to brag about how fast she could type and all the big medical terms she could spell. She could articulate words you couldn’t even fathom. She was too smart for most.
Pam became a grandma in 2009. Her grandson Maxx was the light of her life. In 2015, Pam met a man who would bring her joy and complete her, Craig. Craig was her soulmate and they would play instruments all night long and sing until their lungs gave out. They loved to travel and create music together. At the annual camping trip, Pam would sing around the campfire and the entire campground could hear her beautiful voice.
Pam loved her family and made many memories with each of them, her nieces were incredibly special to her, and they will miss their beloved Aunt Pammy.
