Born on October 26, 1948, Pam graduated from Warren Central High School. She met her husband, Jerry Rubenstein, on a blind date, leading to a 55-year marriage marked by mutual love and respect.

Rubenstein (Roxanne); her grandchildren, Magdelena Rubenstein and Alexander R. Rubenstein (Maury); her great-grandchildren, Tito Rubenstein and Antonio Rubenstein; and her siblings, Darlene, David, James, and Nancy.
