Pamela M Secord

Born on August 20, 1963 in Keene, NH to Richard A. Secord and Virginia Rose (Manica), later wife to Richard Rose. Pam grew up in Turners Falls, MA. She graduated from Franklin County Technical High School in 1981 with a certification in early childhood education.

Pam worked many occupations in her early career while her ex-husband, Donald Faulkner, was in the Coast Guard. During this time she undertook the volunteer role of ombudsman for Coast Guard families. After returning to Western Massachusetts, she worked at Lunts Silversmith in Greenfield, MA where she met her husband of thirteen years Kevin A. Kruzlic of North Swanzey. Pam went on to work at Rite Aid as a pharmacy technician and during the summers worked with her father at Forest Lake Camp Ground in Winchester, NH.

Pam loved working on arts and crafts of all kinds; paper quilling, ceramics, stained glass, crocheting, painting, sewing, and home decorating. Pam took great pleasure in traveling, hiking, sightseeing, going to sports events, and comedy shows with her husband. She loved bingo and painting nights with friends and family. She was funny, and had a great sense of humor. Pam had a huge heart and a special love for all children, not only her own. She relished in the time spent with friends and adored every moment spent with her family, especially her children Jacob Faulkner, Tawnya Becker, son-in-law Victor Becker and grandchildren Gwendolyn and Monica Becker of Newport News, VA. She was excited for her grandson on the way.

She will be also be greatly missed by step-daughters, Bethany Kruzlic and her significant other, Dale Parda of Montague, MA, Lindsay Kruzlic and Bryn Kruzlic, both of Gill, MA; her sisters, Joyan Secord and June Rose, both of Northport; her step-mother, Norma Secord of Winchester and Sun City, AZ; and many nieces, nephews and extended family members. Her father Richard A. Secord and two sisters, Mary Secord and Carmen Secord, predeceased Pam.

A graveside service in the Evergreen Cemetery, Winchester, followed by a celebration of Pam’s life will be held at a date and time to be announced later this summer.
