Farmington Obituary: Pamela Andrews, 62

Pamela M. Andrews of New Britain passed away at Hospital of Central Connecticut on Wednesday, December 6, 2017 after a short illness. Pam was the daughter of David W. (deceased) and Barbara Andrews of Farmington.

She is survived by her brothers David S. and wife Angela of Weymouth, MA; Peter and wife Lisa of York, PA; Mark and wife Janice of Gorham, ME, nieces and nephews Jessica Gilding and husband Stephen of Ontario, Canada; Brett, wife Rebecca and daughter Teagan of Rutland, MA; Michelle of Minneapolis, MN; Christopher and wife Brianna of Champaign, IL; Katherine and Grace of Gorham, ME.

Pam was a devoted daughter, sister, auntie, niece, cousin and probably one of the best friends a person could have. During Pam’s life and career she accumulated many, many friends. Pam graduated from Farmington High School, Class of 1973. After graduation she lived in Unionville for many years moving to New Britain later. Her career spanned over 40 years working in the insurance industry – The Travelers Insurance Company, American Skandia, MetLife and for the past several years at ConnectiCare.

Pam enjoyed her time with family – keeping her brothers in line – she was the big sister after all, shopping with her mother and golfing and baseball games with her father. Pam enjoyed cooking all manners of food for any number of people, trying new recipes or making traditional dishes well. If she wasn’t cooking at her house or yours, she was doing your dishes.

Pam was known to get everything and more out of a single day – visiting her parents, brothers, nieces and nephews, spending time with friends, making crafts and cards and helping with any manner of projects and always with an infectious smile and lots of laughs. There are many projects completed today because Pam helped.

An active member of the First Lutheran Church of the Reformation Pam worked on projects at the church especially working with her team at the FLCR Pasta Suppers. Pam volunteered helping the residents of the Jerome Home making crafts and cards every month.
