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.
