Pamela Jean Ferreira, age 62, of New Bedford, passed away unexpectedly on December 26, 2020 at St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford. Born and raised in New Bedford, she was the daughter of the late Norman L. Ferreira and Rita (Santos) Ferreira.

Pamela especially cherished Sunday night dinners and family vacations. She was a communicant of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish, serving for several years as a Sunday School teacher and coordinator. She then became a communicant of St. Julie Billiart Parish, where she has worshiped for the last 25 years. Survivors include two sisters: Michelle A. Ferreira of Dartmouth, and Valerie J.

I cannot say how saddened I was to learn of Pam's passing. I had to read the obituary over again to be sure that it was her. Please accept my deepest condolences to you and your family. Although I had not seen Pam in years, I do remember, many years ago, when we all would get together and just laugh. I will remember Pam that way. I will light my peace flame this evening in her memory.

My condolences to the Ferreira family. This is such a great loss to our Cardi’s family and I can’t imagine the loss you are all feeling. Pam will be dearly missed. I will remember our secret texts while customers were in the store. Her posing in front of the broken chair so we can get a new one. ❤️

Michelle, Valerie and Corey, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family. My heart hurts for all of you because I know how great of a loss this is. In the best possible way, Pamela was one of a kind.
50 years ago, God gave me the great gift, I met Pamela. I truly believe Pamela was a gift from God that came into my life at exactly the time I needed her most. Over the years looking back I’m not so sure I wouldn’t have become a juvenile delinquent if I hadn’t met Pamela. In some ways we couldn’t have been more different, yet as teenagers we got along so well and became so close. I was my crazy self and having Pamela in my life kept me grounded.
This just doesn’t seem real. I am heartbroken. We have lost the kindest and gentlest soul I have ever had the privilege to know. God gave me a wonderful friend that I will miss very much. Rest peacefully Pamela. I will forever cherish my memories of all the wonderful and fun times we shared.
Until we meet again my friend.

Words cannot express how much we will miss you at work Pam. My heart is broken. You were our rock, the one we would turn to for advice and wisdom. You helped me deal with the loss of my father when you yourself had lost yours 4 months prior. I will never forget you Pam. I will always remember you this way in this picture.
