Pamela attended St. John’s University in New York. It was at St. John’s where she met and

married her husband, Joseph D’Andrea. Pamela raised four daughters and was an amazing cook

and homemaker. She enjoyed playing sports, travelled the world with friends and family, and

gave many charitable donations to causes she cared about. She loved to dance, play games and

be surrounded by her family and all the friends she made throughout the various cities and

communities she lived in. She appreciated and shared stories about all of her worldly

experiences. She was a devout Catholic and deeply loved her family.

We will miss her love, her compassion, her intuition, her competitive spirit and her genuine sincerity.
