It is with great sadness that the family of Pamela Evelyn Peckford (White) announce her passing after a short illness on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at the age of 78 years.

She married Charlie Peckford on December 1, 1967 and settled a few years later in Grand Falls-Windsor with their treasured daughter Verna. She devoted her life to caring for her family and supporting her husband's business. She was very active in a quilting group with special friends Ruby, Madonna and Colleen. Gifting her quilts to family and friends was one of her greatest pleasures.

Also, left to mourn is her brother, Brooklyn White (Doreen);sister-in-law, Patricia White and brothers-in-law, Bert Canning, Lawrence Peckford (Margaret); sisters-in-law, Annie Peckford, Shelia Wells (Junior); as well as  many close nieces and nephews. Special mention to nephew Barry White, whom she always thought of as a son.
