Pamela Kay (Cooper) Soltis, the daughter of George and Margaret (Rupner) Cooper was born May 3, 1947 in Muskegon, MI. She grew up in Hancock, MN where her family attended Our Redeemer's Lutheran Church. Pam attended school in Hancock and graduated from the Hancock High School in 1965. After high school Pam moved to the Minneapolis area where she met her future husband, Terry Soltis. They were united in marriage on April 3, 1971 in Our Redeemer's Lutheran Church in Hancock. The couple made their home in the twin cities for a few years before moving to their current home by Lake Amelia in 1975. This marriage was blessed with two children, Ross and Raelyn. Pam was employed as a receptionist for Dr. Lecander at Glenwood Chiropractic Clinic until 1984. She then began working with Dr. Green's Dental office. She continued to work there until Dr. Green's retirement in 2007. For the last 8 years she worked for the Minnewaska Elementary After School Enrichment Program, which she truly enjoyed.

Pam enjoyed spending time with family, cooking, gardening, taking pontoon rides around Lake Amelia, and visiting with friends and neighbors. Over the last 18 months, her main enjoyment came from spending time with her grandson Lucas.

Pam is survived by her husband, Terry of Glenwood; son, Ross of Glenwood; daughter, Raelyn (Chad) Ransom of Fargo, ND; grandson, Lucas Ransom; and one sister Carole Jensen of Moorhead, MN; along with several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, and brother-in-law, Carl "Mick" Jensen.

Her laugh and smile will be missed, along with her gift to gab, her outgoing personality, and her never ending kind and generous heart.
