Pamela Prestenback Bourke

Pam is the daughter of Dorothy & Riley Prestenback and the granddaughter of Melina & Horace Beauvais.


Pam married John Bourke in March of 1977. The first year of their marriage, they lived in a small 3-bedroom trailer behind her parent's home. They then bought some land and moved into their own trailer about half a block away.

Their first child was born November 6, 1977, Shanna Denise. On Feburary 7, 1981 they had Amber Alayne, and a year later, on September 28, 1982, their only son, Johnnie Ford.

In 1990, the family moved into the old Beauvais home, built and lived in by Pam's grandparents, Horace & Melina, for over 50 years. They still reside in the family home to this day with their 2 cats and 3 dogs.

Pam makes and decorates cakes, owning her own business out of her parents' home. She juggles the responsiblities of mother, wife, daughter, financial planner, peacemaker, & overall head of the family better than I think anyone could.
