Pamela Jean Alliano, age 63, from Hayden, passed away from pancreatic cancer in her home at 12:49 a.m. Monday March 26, 2012, surrounded in the loving arms of her three children. Born March 13, 1949, in Cape Girardeau, Mo., she was the daughter of George H. Cozad and Racine E. Parker.

She grew up in San Jose, Calif. She attended Allen Hancock College, in Santa Maria, Calif., and graduated from Head Masters Cosmetology School in Coeur d’Alene.
