858327
Pamela Anne van Rossem, born on February 2, 1936, in London, England, passed away peacefully at the age of 88. Pam was a remarkable woman whose life reflected her dedication to family, her love for all living things, and her unwavering commitment to defending the underdog.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff at Lakeridge Gardens Long-Term Care Home for the compassionate care they provided Pam in her final years.

Pam embraced many roles throughout her life, from working as a magazine editor to being a stay-at-home mother, community TV programmer, and later a cashier. Her husband, Johan (Joe) van Rossem, and their family were her greatest joy, and she poured her boundless compassion and strength into everything she did.

Pam leaves behind her beloved husband Joe and sons Chris (Susanne) and Tim (Sophie) van Rossem. She was a proud and loving grandmother to her cherished grandchildren: Oliver, Emily, Millie, and Ella. Her warmth, fierce spirit, and devotion will be forever remembered by those who knew and loved her.

A “Time to Remember” gathering will be held on November 15, 2024, at the McEachnie Family Centre, 28 Old Kingston Road, Ajax, Ontario, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Family and friends are invited to join in celebrating Pam’s life and sharing memories of a truly extraordinary woman. In Pam’s memory, please consider donating to the Alzheimer Society – Durham Region.

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at McEachnie Funeral Home.
