Pamela Colt, at the age of 69, has died peacefully in her sleep at her home. Pamela was born in 1952, lived her entire life in Bakersfield, graduating from South High School. At the age of eighteen, she married her high school love, Jim. Despite their youth when embarking upon life together, they forged a marriage that would last forty years until Jim's death. They had two children, James and Sarah, whom they raised, loved, and to whom they provided great opportunities. Pamela made a career as a Registered Nurse, caring for her father when he died and, much later, nursing her husband during his battle with lung cancer. After his death in 2009, Pamela continued nursing for the next twelve years, including extensive hospice work.
As a younger woman, Pam had been a member of Junior League and, in her later years, volunteered for Guild House and the Women's Club. She was imbued with an impressive intellectual capability and spiritual curiosity. Pamela had a great linguistic skill and studied many foreign languages, including German and Russian. Her son has never forgotten seeing her translate for a German tourist who had encountered a language barrier nor the time that Pamela translated Soviet propaganda posters when he showed his parents around the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC. Pamela is also survived by her beloved grandchildren, Rachel and Alex.
As they long had planned, Pamela is interred alongside her beloved Jim. In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to the American Cancer Society.
