Pamela A. Pachuk, 66, of Meriden, CT, died peacefully on April 28, 2015 at Hartford Hospital after a very long and tremendously courageous battle. Born in Meriden, Pam graduated from Maloney High School and went on to pursue her love of fashion at Academie Moderne in Boston. Her life’s journey included living in Italy and in St. Louis, MO but in the end she found her way back to Meriden which is where she lived until her passing. She was truly a “Meriden Girl” at heart, enjoying the comraderie of her high school Reunion Committee. Quick witted and always provoking a laugh, Pam loved nothing more than spending time with family and friends. One of her favorite pleasures was sitting on the beach with family, whether in Old Saybrook, CT or South Bethany Beach, DE. In her quiet time, she was an avid reader, once spending a summer churning through the “100 Classic Books Challenge.” She was keenly intelligent and there was no crossword puzzle she could not tackle with great success. Pam was a beautiful person – passionate, strong willed, and artistic. Pam was employed by Everybody’s Market in Cheshire, CT for many years, making lasting friendships with coworkers and customers along the way. Pam is survived by her sisters Patricia Hofmann of Huntingtown, MD and Penny Sigal of South Windsor, CT, brothers–in-law John Hofmann and Steve Sigal, nieces Heather Hofmann of Orlando, FL, and Callie Sigal Mattson of Chicago, IL, and nephews Michael Hofmann of Port Republic, MD and Zachary Sigal of Philadelphia, PA and great niece Lyndsie Hofmann. She is also survived by her special cousins, Thomas Roncaioli of Meriden, CT and Craig Roncaioli of West Hartford, CT. Pam was predeceased by her parents, Mary Calhoun Pachuk and Anthony J. Pachuk. The family would like to extend its most heartfelt thanks to all of the doctors, nurses and staff at Hartford Hospital on Bliss 8 and ICU 7i who cared for Pam for these last several months. Your compassion and care are deeply appreciated. We would also like to thank Pam’s large circle of friends – mostly from the Maloney Class of ’67, especially Maureen Lodge and David Grodzicki, who were invaluable to Pam and her family during this trying time. Your support has meant more to the family than you will ever know. There are no words to express our deepest gratitude to David Rosenfeld who gave Pam the gift of life in June of 2002 Relatives and friends may call at the John J. Ferry & Sons Funeral Home, 88 East Main St., Meriden, CT 06450 on May 3, 2015 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Burial will be private.
