Born October 28, 1952 to Devon and Colleen Petersen in Logan, Utah. She was
raised from infancy by Evan and Carmen Brown. She passed away July 11, 2025 in
Afton, Wyoming from cancer.
Pam was loyal, compassionate and a caregiver her whole life. As a young girl
she would cook for all of the people that would come to her parent's house. She helped
her mother, Carmen, garden and it became a lifetime love for her. She loved to raise
flowers and had a way of knowing what her plants needed. She enjoyed hauling sheep
with her brothers. She would get up early or spend the night in the sleeper so that she
was ready to go with them. She had many fun stories of the time she shared with her
siblings. Her father, Evan told her when her brother died that her brother had good
principles, this stuck with Pam and she always looked out for the under-dog. She stuck
up for people her whole life.
She married Brent Joseph Biggs on November 9, 1971 in Millville, Utah. They
were later sealed in the Logan Utah Temple. Together they had three children. They
owned and operated Biggs Mink Ranch. The family spent many long happy hours
together caring for the mink. She taught us kids to work together and to love each
other. They had mink 23 years in Franklin, Idaho and later moved to Malta, Idaho and
raised mink there for another 5 years. Brent and Pam later divorced but became good
friends.
Pam spent many hours finding her family and ancestors. Her family search
account showed that she had made over 117,000 contributions. She would work on her
family all the time, it was of great importance to her. She held several callings in the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Her favorites were working at the Star
Valley Temple and teaching Relief Society. The ladies would tell her often that she
would say what everyone was thinking but wouldn't dare to say. Pam had a strong
testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pam was able to see many places from Nauvoo to the California Coast, but her
favorite place was always Yellowstone National Park.
Pam always had a kitty. Brent would often tease her and tell her that he wished
he could have been a "Pam Cat" because she took such good care of her kitties. She
was a wonderful Mother. She was always there for us kids no matter what.
Pam is survived by her children, Thomas Cass (Dawnya), Nicholas Brant (Michelle),
and Heather Kay (Corey). 10 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
Both of her families: Carol Johnson, Jack (Trudy) Brown, sister-in-law Linda Brown
and Mickie (Shayne) Mathews, Kirk (Kaye) Petersen, Randy (Leisa) Petersen, Kevin
(Tonya) Petersen, Kris (Becky) Petersen, Cleone (Lyle) Gittins.
Pam was laid to rest in the Afton, Wyoming Cemetery on July 16,2025. She fought the
good fight. She will be sorely missed, until we meet again. We love you forever.
The family would like to thank everyone for their support and prayers.
