NAPLES — Pamela J. Penney, 77, passed away on May 10, 2023, in her home in Naples.

She is survived by her sister, Judith Fredericks, of Cheshire, Conn., and her three nieces Kimberly (Dan) Bantham of Bedford, N.H., Kirsten (John) Albrecht of Cheshire, Conn., and Bethany (Tom) Cass of Topsfield, Mass., and her nephew Dr. Scott (Kelly) Fredericks of Cape Elizabeth.

Pam was born February 4, 1946, in Northampton, Mass., to the late John and Edith Penney. She received an education in teaching and was a talented artist. While in her teaching training, she spent time out on a Native American reservation where she developed a love for their people and culture. Pam was a very giving individual and was always thoughtful and loving to her family. She spent many years in Agawam, Mass., where she cared for her elderly parents until they passed. While in Agawam, she worked for the TSA at Bradley International Airport as well as a local grocery store. She later moved to Brownfield, and last lived in Naples. While in Maine, Pam worked as a seamstress for L.L.Bean, and as a flagger for Lucas Tree Experts. She was active with local organizations such as the Lions Club and loved to attend local concerts and other community events. Pam loved all animals, but especially the many cats and dogs that she cared for over the years including her wolf, Washte, pictured here. She had a love for nature and being outside, and lived simply but happily with what she had.

A memorial service for Pam is being planned for some time this summer in the Naples area. If interested in attending, please e-mail her niece, Kirsten at kirstenptpr@aol.com.

Arrangements are in the care of the Hall Funeral Home, 165 Quaker Ridge Road in Casco. www.hallfuneralhome.net.
