Pam Poochigian was born in Selma, California, on April 21, 1958, to parents Sam and Marge Esraelian.  She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on April 21, 2022, her 64 ^th birthday.

Pam worked as a bank manager and school secretary, but her most fulfilling roles were that of wife, mother, and daughter.  Family was the center of her life.  She was an excellent cook who had learned her mother's secrets in preparing traditional Armenian dishes.  She loved her Friday night dinner group and traveling to the coast with Gary and friends.

Pam was preceded in death by her sister, Gail, and her mother.  Pam is survived by Gary Poochigian, her husband of 37 years, her children, Brett Poochigian and Heather Poochigian, her brother, Brian Esraelian, and her father, Sam Esraelian, and many uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, brothers and sisters-in-law.

A viewing will be held at Yost and Webb Funeral Home, Thursday, April 28, from 5 to 7 pm.  The funeral will be at St. Gregory Church, Fowler, on Friday, April 29, 2022, at 10 am, with interment at Selma Cemetery. The family requests that remembrances in Pam's name be to St. Gregory Church or the donor's favorite charity.
