Kernersville, NC/Livonia, NY: At age 59, Pam passed peacefully on September 21, 2023 at the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston-Salem, NC. She was born on October 20, 1963 in Rochester, NY to the late Richard “Dick” and Roma (Colburn) Emery. Survived by children; Tess Noveck of Kernersville, NC, Alexis (Isaac) Hampton of Yadkinville, NC, and Eric Noveck of Livonia; siblings, Michele (John) Coakley of NC and Suzanne Emery of Rochester. Also survived by nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Pam spent 5 years in the US Army as a heavy construction equipment operator. Her tour of duty included stints in Germany (where two of her children,Tess & Eric, were born) and Rwanda. Pam was a kind soul that loved all animals- she was never far from her beloved dog Mitzi. Pam cherished time spent with family and friends. Some of the best parties included boisterous laughter over a game of cards. While living in Rochester and Greensboro, she loved going to dance studios and dancing it out to her favorite rock tunes. Her children were the love of her life and she joyously got to see her middle child, Alexis, marry in her last days. We all learned to be kinder and more appreciative of all the simple pleasures of life through Pam’s lead. Please think of Pammie when you see a daisy.

I was blessed to have worked with Pam for the last 3 years. We became good friends. She was such a sweet soul with no malice or hate in her heart. None. Unless of course you messed with her kids! She loved to laugh, and we laughed a lot. A sweet soul gone way to soon. You’re with your beloved parents. And will be watching over your children I’m sure. RIP friend.
Prayers for the family. I just can believe that Pam is gone. God only takes to good ones.
Always enjoyed our chats when her kids were at Annies Ark. We laughed a lot during those days. To her children -let the memories wrap their arms around you as Gods comfort and grace flows over you. She was a beautiful human and much loved.
My Sincere condolences to the Emery Family.
