Pamela Alyce Tokach was born on May 9, 1946, the daughter of Laurence and Arlene (Paddock) Miller in Butte, Montana. She was raised and educated in Butte. 

She married Kenneth Tokach June 13, 1969 in Butte, Montana. The couple started their family in Montana but due to Ken's career in the mining industry his work took them to Nevada and Wyoming. In the early 1990s they returned to Ken's home state of North Dakota. Pam and Ken have made Mandan their home since.

Pam's primary focus was her family. She proudly wore the title of domestic engineer, a career she excelled at. She loved tending to her family and creating a comfortable home. She enjoyed baking and cooking for her friends and family, creating special meals for birthdays and holidays. One of her yearly favorites being her annual St. Patrick's Day corned beef and cabbage. 

Pam's passion was sewing, particularly quilts, along with many other projects as well, most of which ended up being gifts for friends and family. She also enjoyed gardening and tending to her flowers. 

Many memories were made playing games with her family, especially her grandchildren. Pam was an avid animal lover. She raised dachshunds and would care for any animal she had the opportunity to. 

Pam and Ken enjoyed many travels together. Several trips with World Wildlife Travel took them all throughout North America and South America, affording them the opportunity to see many animals in their natural habitat.

Pam will be missed by her husband of 55 years; children: Alyce (Greg) Majszak, Elizabeth (Mike) Duran and Charles Tokach; 7 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren (with one on the way) and Pam's younger siblings: Patricia Lee Miller; Deanne M Rydland; Donald (Tracy) Miller; Daniel Miller.

She is preceded in death by her parents and brother, Sam Miller; half-brother Robert Miller and grandson Johnny Duran.
