  I had the pleasure of meeting Pam at Uniacke District School. I was an Educational Assistant and she was a Playground Supervisor. From the first day I met her.....she had me belly laughing and tears coming out of my eyes. Sometimes, I don't even think she MEANT to be funny...but some of the comments that would fly out of her mouth were downright hysterical. Ocaasionally, having lunch with the "duties" absolutely made my day. I went on a couple of shopping trips and a couple of gatherings with Pam....and her humour, quirkiness, and the most beautiful smile...made everything much more fun. After she left UDS and moved on to other things, we kept in touch. I am so glad we did. We played a couple of games together on Facebook and she'd beat me in Scrabble almost every single time. I joking told her she had to be "cheating" because some of the words she'd come out with were words I had NEVER heard of. Her reply to me was, "I am certainly NOT cheating. That is absurd!" 😂 I don't play Scrabble now. It's not the same. It is her turn to "go" and of course she is ahead by a gazillion points. I will miss her posts about Charlie, her life and her smile. I will simply miss Pam. To the family and friends of this beautiful lady, please accept my sincerest condolences and deepest sympathy. "And Pam....I will miss you. Thank you for being who you were. Thank you for making this world a brighter place, simply because we we blessed to have you in it. When you see Roger.....please hug him for me. You will be missed terribly but know that you are now pain free. Rest well, my friend. And may the arms of God be wrapped around you." With love.... Cathy Arscott

  I didn't know Pam as well as I would have liked, and wish our paths had intertwined more. For many years, she was the joyful start to my otherwise dreary early morning routine each day at RBC Insurance. I very much enjoyed our chats, even if they were brief sometimes, as her happy nature was contagious on contact - the day would suddenly be brighter even if the sun wasn't up yet. She'll always wear that epic smile in my memories, and that light she shared so generously with everyone will never fade from my heart. May the light and love of our infinite creator shine upon her family and friends during this time to help them heal, and provide the strength and perseverance needed to rise through the darkness of her departure to find their own brighter days ahead, as she surely would want for all. Blessed be.

  To Pam's family and friends, I am so very saddened to hear the sad news of Pamela's passing. I seen on her Facebook page friends had been leaving condolences but I kept thinking maybe there was a mistake.Sadly it was not. Oh the wonderful memories I have when we lived in Mount Uniacke and worked at the school together. I can hear her laughter now and boy did we laugh together. But we also shared a friendship outside of school work. We had a group and we spent such fun times together. Oh Pam I will miss your posts on Facebook, your quirky remarks and your Charlie stories but I will cherish my many memories. Rest in peace my dear friend, rest in peace.

  My memories of Pamela start from when we both toddling around, after we were the first of the Stackhouse clan cousins. Always having fun together, being outside, going to the park, eating KFC, which was a huge treat for us, we loved it! Those were our Chestnut Street days.... The summers growing up, our family headed east and I so looked forward to spending time with Pamela. We never fought, just had fun. Over the years, we did not see one another as much but we connected on and off and somehow got the scoop on one another through our parents. We did manage to connect a few years ago during the pandemic via the internet, it was good to see her, her new house and hear that life was treating her well. Pamela, your smile and spirit will shine on. Uncle Wayne, Aunt Florence, Michael and Angela, thinking of all of you, much love to all. Cousin Sheryl

  Dear Florence and Wayne and Family: including the Churchill side of the family. Please except my heartfelt condolences in the passing of your daughter/sister/ niece Pamela. I can only imagine the heart 💔 of losing a child, as I'm not a mother nor parent. I never had the pleasure of meeting your daughter, even though she lived very close to me. but heard her Aunt Lorna speaking very fondly of her niece... did see photos of her big beautiful smile. Regards Yvonne

  Out of the 14 of us Stackhouse cousins, she was one of the first to accept and embrace me for being the only gay one. In 2025, this sounds like no big deal (as it should never have been,) but this was over 30 years ago and rejection and legalized discrimination were still very much a thing, and I was always grateful for the unconditional way she accepted me when that was far from a given. It is my understanding that Pamela had lots of gay friends and hopefully they will get the chance to speak up here also. She was a bright light and the world was a better place for having her in it. I regret not telling her this when she was here, I fell into the "one of these days we will reconnect on a trip out east" pattern of thinking but now it's too late. Rest in peace, Pamela ~ hope to catch up with you on the other side! I'm very sorry for your loss, Michael, Angela, and Uncle Wayne and Aunt Florence. It's not fair. Keep your memories of her close to your hearts and she lives on there. Wishing you all peace through your grieving, ~ Ian Labelle-Stackhouse. "We could be heroes, just for one day" ~ David Bowie

  Although I wasn't super close with my cousin Pamela, mostly due to proximity, I did get to spend some time with her in a short period of time in her life when she lived in Ontario. I will never forget her giggle and smile, something I think most will easily remember her by! Always good natured and kind, she had an easy going personality, one that made you comfortable having her around. She seemed that any time you spent with her in any capacity, whether it be a party or a quiet get together she was content. Just happy to spend time, with you as a person, without any expectations or judgement for a casual low key visit, rather than fancy formal hosting. She didn't need to be impressed, she just wanted to chat and get to know you, and could be comfortable with herself and others in the company she kept. I can't even remember a time that she didn't have a smile on her face! It drew you in like a big welcome sign. In the last few years I acquired a cat family of my own, and like Pamela, I fell in love with these feline creatures! I bet charlie was really spoiled by her (as he should be) and they were both so fortunate to have each other in life. I hope he finds happiness in his next home. To Aunt Florence and Uncle Wayne my heart aches for your loss that usually is bared in the reverse. Losing a child before their time and still in your time has to be so difficult. No matter how old they are, they will always be your child. My condolences to you both, and Angela and Michael and their families as you all navigate through your grief. May she rest in piece. Lisa Skira (Stackhouse)

  My deepest sympathy to the family at this most difficult time. Pamela was a lovely lady with a large personality and a great smile. She will be deeply missed. We have known her almost all her life which was shortened much too fast. Rest in peace Pamela.

  I only met Pamela once, but I immediately felt like we had known each other for a long time. She was so kind and welcoming. My deepest sympathies to your family.
