PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. — U.S. Congressman Aaron Bean and U.S. Congresswoman Kat Cammack have introduced legislation to rename the Interlachen post office in honor of U.S. Postal Service carrier Pamela “Pam” Rock.
A dog attack led to the death of 61-year-old Rock on Aug. 21 of last year. The five dogs who mauled her have since been euthanized.
This legislation would rename the United States Postal Facility located at 100 Mathe Avenue in Interlachen, Florida the “Pamela Jane Rock Post Office Building.”
“The Rock Family deeply appreciates the action of the Congressman Bean to name the U.S. Post Office in Interlachen, Florida in memory of our dear sister, Pamela Jane Rock. This provides us some comfort since her tragic death,” said the Rock Family.
Earlier this year, the State Attorney’s Office decided not to press charges against the owner of the dogs, Edgar Jowers, Jr., because records showed he tried to surrender his pets to Putnam County Animal Services multiple times before the attack.
