Pamela Edith Hodgkins

Married to her loving husband Charles W. (Charlie) Hodgkins for 56 years, was predeceased by her parents Albert H. Sr. and Mildred A. (Neary) Thornton and her beloved son Kyle C. Hodgkins who was taken from this earth so prematurely. She is survived by her loyal and loving daughter Kimberly J. Lees and husband Dean, granddaughters Sydney, Samantha, and Kileigh. She is the sister of Albert H. Thornton, Jr., Esq. and wife Cheryl. In addition to several nieces and nephews - Albert H. Thornton, III, Brian Thornton (Elizabeth), Colleen Thornton Noonan, Lannie Catoe (Sam), and Mike Hodgkins (Julie), Debra (Hodgkins) Magliano, she also leaves behind Crystal Green and her fiancée Johnny, Trey Green, James Switzer and Reagan Lee.

After graduating from Johnston High School, she started her working career with the Providence Gas Company. Later after her children were in school, she worked at the Providence VA Medical Center in Providence as a computer specialist where she retired after 21 years. Other than her love of animals, she loved nothing more than playing golf at courses throughout Rhode Island and elsewhere as well as taking cruises and traveling with her husband. Always the practical joker, she had no problem dropping water filled balloons from an upper deck of a cruise ship to poor unsuspecting souls sitting below or putting a rubber spider on a plate at a restaurant and after calling the waitress over would have the spider jump on the poor unsuspecting server. We will all miss her sense of humor.
