She was born in Newburyport on June 26,1947 to the late Mae (Reynolds) Donahue. Raised and educated in Newburyport, Pamela was a graduate of Newburyport High School, class of 1965.

First and foremost, Pamela was a dedicated mother. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Grammy to her only grandchild Nina. Pamela had a vivacious personality and could always make people laugh. She was a kind soul who made everyone feel welcome and comfortable.

In her spare time Pamela enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles, tending to her plants and amazing garden, and spending time with family and friends at the beach. Even as they grieve her loss, her family will always cherish her vibrant spirit.

Pamela is survived by her children, Meghan Rowley and her husband John of South Weymouth, MA, and Shane Callery and his wife Maura McCarthy of West Newbury, MA; her granddaughter, Nina Rowley; her partner of over 20 years, William Doherty of Seabrook; her former husband, Paul Callery of Newbury, her brother Blair Donahue and several nieces and nephews.
