A longtime resident of Covington, Kentucky, Pam lived a life defined by compassion, conviction, and an unwavering commitment to the causes she believed in. Throughout her life, Pam dedicated herself to social and environmental activism and advocacy for people facing special challenges. She worked tirelessly to make her community-and the world-more just, equitable, and sustainable. Her professional career in nonprofit development and volunteer management reflected her deep belief in the power of people working together for the common good. Those who knew her admired her integrity, warmth, vivacity, and a steadfast optimism that inspired everyone around her. Pam found joy in simple, beautiful things: tending to her houseplants and garden, being in the woods, and spending meaningful time with friends and family. Her curiosity, humor, and generous spirit left a lasting mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her. She is survived by her sons, Shane (Gail Francis) and Brian (Susanne) Dickey; sisters, Lisa (Rob) Hughes and Sr. Colleen "Bobbi" Winston; grandchildren Dakota Blackwell and Miles Dickey; nieces, Jamie (James) Hils, Kristin (Blake)Tewes, and Allison Hughes; and nephews Jason (Heather) and Eric (Lisa) Suedkamp.
