Obituary
It is with broken hearts that the family of Pamela Frances Barnes of Topsail, NL announce her passing on July 2, 2020, surrounded by family.
Predeceased by her father Weston Barnes. Left to mourn are her mother Patricia Barnes, her dog Tessa, sister (and best friend) Janet Hamel(Wendell), brothers Russell Barnes(Bonnie), and Ralph Barnes (Chelan), nephew Ben Hamel, nieces Natasha Barnes, Brooke Hamel, Danielle Sullivan, and great nephew Weston. Also celebrating her life and mourning her loss are many close cousins, friends, and extended family.
Pam lived her life with a strong faith and humbly giving to others; suitably starting her career as a Registered Nurse, sharing her words of wisdom and love to all those who entered into her life. If you needed her for a great conversation, support through a difficult time, or a long strong hug she provided all of this and more.
Pam was a ray of sunshine to all those who had the pleasure of knowing her. We will remember her for her caring, loving ways, her soulful laugh, her healing presence, and genuine concern for your wellbeing. Words cannot express how deeply we will miss her, but her impact will be everlasting.
Expressing many thanks to our family for all of the meals and treats throughout these last few weeks, the loving, amazing staff of St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital. Beginning with Dr. Reddy and Dr.Butler, the loving Covid dancer Brenda, all of the 7 West staff; Ron Corcoran, the incredible nurses, respiratory therapists, housekeeping staff, food service workers, and Sister Betty who became like family when her family were not allowed hospital visits; covid screening staff, Father Keeping, porters, and St Luke’s staff for all of their help and compassion with her mother during this strict isolating time.
Due to Covid restrictions funeral service is postponed until a later date.
Expressions of sympathy may be made in the form of donations to St. John the Evangelist Church, Topsail.
Always loved, never forgotten.

I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Pam today. I met her almost 21 years ago through Janet at a time in my life when I was going through difficulties, it was like I had known her all my life but that’s just the kind of person she was. I am so blessed and privileged to have known this beautiful person who gave me a shoulder to cry on, many meaningful conversations, laughter galore (oh that laugh), and countless hugs. She was pretty much one of the most selfless people that I have ever had the good fortune to cross paths with. I just want her family to know what she meant to me. You will always be in my heart Pam!
I am so sorry to hear of Pam’s passing. Lloyd and I saw Pam several months ago while out shopping. It had been years since I saw her but it was like we were back in high school! Oh the laughter! I, too am from QE class of 77! Fly with the angels sweet friend!
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers Had many an interesting chat with Pam in past years sending hugs to you all God bless
Mrs. Barnes and Family
I am so sad to hear of Pams passing. The memories all come flooding back of the times we have spent together in the past. I always thought of her as one of my ‘heart’ friends, you never had to talk daily or even yearly, but when you did catch up…. it was like you had just talked yesterday. Her caring and reassuring ways , put you at ease with whatever the situation was at that time..
I send my deepest sympathies and much love to you all . Thank you Pam for being my friend.
I am so sorry to hear of Pam’s passing. It has been a long time since since I saw her, but when I did it was like time stood still and we were in high school. My deepest condolences. God bless.

Pam, was one of our four musketeers in school! The four gals were always together. I remember our camping trips with Pam, Jane and Diane and me all thx to Pams dads help!

We will miss you dear old friend ????

Janet, Mrs. Barnes and family. I was so saddened to hear of Pam’s’ passing. It has been a few years since I last seen Pam but I remember her laugh and wit as if it was yesterday. I remember getting off work one morning from a night shift, at the Grace, and driving across town to the General Hospital nursing residence to bring her to the Motor Vehicle Building so she could get her drivers license on my little Pontiac. What a day we had. We went out and celebrated that night as well. Our thoughts and prayers to all of you.
My sincerest condolences to all of Pam’s family. I have not seen Pam in close to 40 years, but I can still hear her beautiful laugh. It certainly was infectious. RIP my childhood friend. ???? .
Mrs. Barnes and family, my Dad, Lew, and I send our deepest condolences. You are with us in our prayers.
