Pam was born January 23, 1945 in Pawhuska, OK the daughter of H.R. and Velma Madge (Soderstrom) Weyl. She grew up in the Burbank and Pawhuska areas and attended Pawhuska Schools, with the exception of attending Monte Casino schools for two years. She graduated from Pawhuska High School in 1963.
Pam married Nelson Carter in 1963 at Miami, OK. From this marriage, they had two sons, Nelson J. “Jay” Carter, Jr., and Jeffrey Wayne “Jeff” Carter.

In 1980, Pam was appointed as the Pawhuska Tag Agent, retiring from that position in December of 2015.

Pam was involved in the Barnsdall Quilters and Homeland Quilters for Veterans for many years until her death. For approximately 30 years, she was also involved with the OCIB and Biker Park meets. She was very involved in politics and campaigning for her party’s candidate of choice.
