On May 12, 2024, at age 67, Pamela passed away peacefully at The E.W. Bickle Centre for Complex Continuing Care, Toronto, following a lengthy illness.

Pam is predeceased by her beloved wife of 37 years, Shannon Hogan (2023), her father, Jack (Jeannette) Bond (1988), her nephew Jack Bond (2013), her aunt Marina (Peter) Johnson, her uncle Bob (Lois) Bond, her aunt Sandy and uncle Gerry Dunn, grandmothers Margaret and Helen, and father-in-law Bernie (Virginia) Hogan (2013).  Pam leaves behind her loving mother Jeannette, her brothers Mark (Ada) and Christopher, and her niece Merrin (Doug) and their children; uncles Dale (Pat) Miquelon, Roy (Phyllis) Bond and Peter Johnson, aunt Lois Bond, and other aunts, uncles and cousins who all loved her dearly.  Pam was a deeply loved member of the Hogan family of Windsor, Ontario, and will be sadly missed by her in-laws Virginia Hogan, John and Alma Hogan, and all their family.  Pam also leaves behind many, many friends who loved her.  

Pam grew up in Edmonton and St. Albert, Alberta.  She graduated from Ross Sheppard High School in 1975.  Pam loved being outdoors and had a deep appreciation of the natural world around her.  An accomplished athlete, Pam excelled in a wide range of sports, including horseback riding, marksmanship, canoeing, and archery. As teenagers, Pam and her brother Mark attended Teen Time, which became a huge part of their teen lives. Pam was a camper and eventually a leader and President of Teen Time. 

Pam earned an Arts degree at the University of Alberta, graduating in 1978, and then went on to study Law at Queen's University.  Pam was a proud graduate of the class of Law ‘81 at Queen’s Law School.  In addition to her intellect, her classmates remember her as a ‘small but mighty’ competitor on law school teams, including hockey and touch football.

Pam was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1983.  She went on to work at QL Systems (later known as Quick Law) and then practiced law at Coutts Crane in Toronto.  She left private practice and later became a teacher in the Paralegal program at Seneca College.  She had a keen interest in her students and in providing them with the tools and skills for their success.

Pam strove to master everything she turned her mind to, whether it was law, teaching, gardening, a sport, a musical instrument, or a craft.  If there was just the right tool or piece of equipment that would successfully complete the endeavour, Pam was sure to find it.  She was a person of many gifts and talents, effortlessly combining a keen intellect with practicality and creativity.  Her love of gardening led Pam to complete all the required courses to achieve the title of Master Gardener.  She enjoyed singing and playing guitar.  A talented artist, she created projects with stained glass, and also took art classes to further develop her skills in drawing and painting.  

Over the course of many happy years together, Pam and her late wife Shannon shared a profound love and deep faith, drawing joy each day from just being together.  They shared their love with family and their many friends, as well as with their treasured dogs Murphy, Casey, Paddy, Brady and Teddy.  Pam and Shannon loved to travel together, visiting family in Alberta and friends in Spain and Singapore.  

Family and friends fondly remember many delicious meals and much laughter at the Hogan-Bond residence in The Beach, including themed get-togethers to celebrate such events as The Olympics, The Oscars, and Royal weddings.  In addition to being a talented cook, Pam delighted in finding just the right accessories and decorations to make each event even more special.  

Those who were lucky enough to have had Pam in their lives will hold in their hearts the memory of a shining spirit whose love, kindness, and generosity truly made a difference in the world.  

Pam’s family would like to extend their thanks to lifelong friend Sarah Muttitt and longtime friends Marianne Fenner, Kathy Hawke and Cheri DiNovo for their friendship and support to Pam during her illness.  Thanks are extended, as well, to the staff of The E.W. Bickle Centre and the PSW and administrative staff of Divine Favour for their devoted care.
