Pamela was always a seeker and non-conformist. After she arrived in Fiji in 1967 with her husband, Dmitri, she became interested in the Baha'i Faith. In 1969, Pamela became confirmed in her belief in Baha'u'llah, and through her example, Dmitri also accepted the Faith.
Pamela became secretary of the Suva Local Assembly, a member of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Fiji Islands, and served on many committees. Her love and respect of young people was warmly reciprocated by them; she was friend and adviser to many.
After her pilgrimage to the Holy Land, she became even more active in proclaiming the Faith to government leaders, civil servants and members of the business community. She demonstrated the Faith in her life through her integrity in business and through her attitude toward her work.
In 1974 Pamela and Dmitri went to live in Bangladesh. As a pioneer on behalf of the National Spiritual Assembly of India, she made a considerable impression on the local community through her understanding, humour, love, humility, common sense and example, and her many activities received the constant support and encouragement of her husband. There in distress often turned to Pamela for comfort and advice.
In 1977 Pamela underwent surgery for cancer of the oesophagus in London but was able to return to Bangladesh for a short time. Meanwhile, Dmitri's work had taken him to Chittagong where Pamela, although weak and handicapped, again began teaching the Faith. After several months she had to return to London for further treatment. In spite of pain and discomfort and the certain knowledge that she was dying, she was, through her cheerfulness and her faith in Baha'u'llah, an inspiration to patients and hospital staff and visitors.
In the early hours of 21 June 1978, with her husband at her side, Pamela ascended to the Abha Kingdom. She now lies in the Great Northern London Cemetery, New Southgate, close to the resting place of the beloved Guardian. After her passing, the Universal House of Justice on 21 August cabled the NSA of Bangladesh:
