My beloved wife, the love of my life and best friend, mother, grandmother and sister, of Kellogg, Idaho, passed away March 7, 2020, in her home in Post Falls Idaho. She was born April 5, 1955. Pam was the oldest daughter of Cecil Gray and Sheryn (Midge Grondin) Rex (Triplett).

Pam grew up in Kellogg attending local schools where she excelled in sports earning several awards for her athletic abilities. She then moved to Oregon where she attended both Aloha and Beaverton High Schools and later attended Mount Hood Community College in Gresham Oregon.

Pam was united in marriage to Raymond Woolf on January 19, 1973, in Vancouver, Wash. Thereafter she stayed by her husband’s side serving as a devoted military spouse while he served 20 years in the United States Air Force serving during the post-Vietnam era and later Desert Storm

Pam followed her husband Ray from Chanute Air Force Base Illinois, Mountain Home Air Force Base Idaho, LaGrande, Ore., Spokane, Wash., Myrtle Beach Air Force Base South Carolina, Eielson Air Force Base Alaska, McCord Air Force Base Washington, Palmer, Alaska, Gresham, Ore., Sherwood, Ore., and finally, after retirement, returned home to be reunited with her family and loved ones in Post Falls Idaho.

Pam loved the outdoors, road trips and spending time with her family. She enjoyed camping, fishing, gardening, entertaining family and friends, cooking, playing games with her children and arts and crafts.

Pam is survived by her beloved husband of 49 years and best friend forever Raymond Woolf of Post Falls Idaho; daughter Amanda Woolf of McCammon, Idaho, son Brian Woolf of Gresham, Ore.; two granddaughters, Stephanie Woolf of Aloha, Ore.; Rebekah Altizer of McCammon, Idaho; her four sisters Jackie Calhoun (Gray) of Smelterville, Idaho; Susan LeMaster (Gray) of Moscow, Idaho; Kim Greenlee (Gray) of Deary Idaho; Toni Kemry (Grondin) of Battle Ground, Wash., and her two brothers Bruce Gray of Kalispell, Mont., and Michael Grondin of Post Falls Idaho; her parents Cecil (Bud) Gray and Sharon (Midge) Rex (Triplett).

My sincerest and heartfelt thanks to officers Todd Flood and Justin Anderson of the Post Falls police department for their rapid response and for remaining by my side during my most desperate hour. Their support was instrumental in helping me survive the impact of this heartbreaking time and I will forever be grateful for their service.
