Pamela Kelly Jennings
Pam was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and raised in Charlottesville, Virginia. Pam and Jay, her husband and best friend of 55 years, raised three sons and built a family life filled with love, service, and community in both Westchester and Fairfield Counties.
Pam served as co-president of the Auxiliary Board of St. Vincent’s Hospital, Westchester, and contributed to various committees at Iona Grammar School and Fordham Preparatory School. Pam’s true passion was being a dedicated mother, adoring wife, cherished grandmother and selfless friend—roles she embodied with unwavering grace.
Known for her warmth and light, Pam was a natural presence in every room—always offering a smile, a kind word, and a sense of belonging. Her infectious laugh, unmistakable and full of joy, left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
In addition to her husband, Pam is survived by her sons, James, Ryan (Kendra), and Christopher (Shanna); eight grandchildren: Mason, Marley, Jack, Liam, Patrick, Scarlett, Chloe, Bowen; and her brother, Kevin Kelly. Pam was predeceased by her sister, Karen O’Neill, and her parents, Thomas and Dorothea Kelly.
Pam’s spirit lives on through her family, friends, and all those she touched. A celebration of Pam’s life will be held this Spring.
I’m saddened to read the news of Pam’s passing. She was a beauty inside and out, with a warm, infectious smile and style through and through. Condolences to Jay and their boys.
