Pamela Joy (Trindle) Marth was born on December 21, 1948 in Charles City, IA to James and Lois Trindle. She went home to be with the Lord on July 14, 2025 in San Diego. Pam graduated from Charles City High School in 1967 where she was actively involved in chorus. One of her accomplishments was playing Mama Paros in the Music Man musical. She attended Morningside College, Sioux City, IA then entered into a career as a legal secretary in Kansas City, Mo. On November 18, 1972, Pamela and Larry Marth were married after Larry had his eye on her since 4th grade. The couple moved to San Diego while Larry was in the Navy and have remained there since. Pam had a wonderful gift for music and furthered that by playing piano and singing at Rancho Bernardo Baptist Church for many years. Another gift was her planning many themed parties for friends and co-workers highlighted with extreme Christmas decorating for the law firm building. During their life together Pam and Larry enjoyed travels and several cruises including Alaska and the Caribbean. Pam retired from her legal secretary career after 40 plus years ending at Lorber, Greenfield, and Polito Law firm in 2014. She is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, Larry Marth, her brother, Carl Trindle, special niece Sylvia Vallotton and several other nieces and nephews. She is greatly missed by her two fur babies, Sissy and Chloe. She was preceded in death by her parents, sisters: Rita Furman and Donna Katz.
