Pamela Denise Jones Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Pamela Denise Jones was born April 9, 1962 to Veronica Jones and the late Charles Jones. Pamela was the second of four children. She was educated in the Chester Upland School District where she was active in school plays and, also ran for “Ms. Black Chester”. Pamela gave birth to her first child, Shauntae Jones in May of 1979. She graduated from Chester High School in 1980 and attended Goldey Beacom College, thereafter. Pamela was very proud to have enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve in 1981-1987. Pamela relocated to Atlanta, GA in 1986 where she worked as an administrative assistant and grant writer for various major corporations. Not long after relocating, she fell in love with the culture and enjoyed opening her doors to all those who came to visit. In 1989, Pamela gave birth to her 2nd child, Akeem Howard-Jones. She joined Sanctuary Church of the Open Door in 1995 under the leadership of Bishop Audrey F. Bronson. Pamela, affectionately known as “Pam” enjoyed listening to oldies music, which lead her to believe she was Facebook’s “old school” DJ. She enjoyed family game nights playing bingo and Pokeno (which she’s still on probation for her outburst and attitude). She spent her last days in the home of her mother, who served as her caregiver until her passing. During this time, her personality really showed through with her humor and sarcasm. It was guaranteed that she would yell “MOM” throughout the day and would often ask for Rita’s water ice. Her mother was surprised as she walked in the room one day and Pam was sitting up on the side of the bed (this was her stubborn side). Mom asked, “where are you going” she replied “crazy, you want to go” (this was her sarcastic side). Pamela was a loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt & friend. She was a blessing to all that knew her. She stepped into the presence of the Lord on October 1, 2021. She was preceded in death by father, Charles Jones and older sister Charlayne Jones whom she truly loved and missed.
