BLACK, PAMELA ANN - 1920-2011 - It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing on Saturday, June 11, 2011 of our cherished aunt, Pam Black. She is predeceased by her parents, Frank and Eleanor Black and five siblings; Mardie (Weldon), Laurie, Babs (Flood), Bill and Mary Hope, her twin. A graduate of Mount Allison University and then employed in their French Department, she later founded Beachkirk Museum, initially located at Upper Cape, NB. The collection was then donated to The Westmorland Historical Society in Dorchester and is now part of the St. James Textile Museum. Pam will be fondly remembered for her independent spirit, fascination and involvement with local arts and crafts. She enjoyed sharing her love and knowledge of nature with those who showed an interest in plants, dyeing yarns, spinning and weaving. Pam cared for a large and varying number of dogs and cats who brought her great joy throughout her life. She will be sadly missed by many nephews and nieces and their families and will remain alive in their hearts.
In accordance with Pam's wishes, there will be no funeral. Cremation has taken place under the care and supervision of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge Street, Sackville (364-1300) and her ashes will be interred at a later date with family and friends present. Donation, if desired, can be made to a charity of one's choice. www.jonesfuneralhome.ca
