Pam Bussey

Pam Bussey, age 50, of Delaware and for­merly of Card­ing­ton, died Sun­day after­noon, August 5, 2012, at her res­i­dence sur­rounded by her lov­ing fam­ily fol­low­ing over a year long bat­tle with cancer.

On Feb­ru­ary 27, 1962, Pam was born in Lewis­ton, Maine, the daugh­ter of the late Harold Far­ley and Arlene (Priest) Wat­son. As a fam­ily, they moved to Colum­bus, when she was only four years old, which is where she was raised.

In 1982, Pam moved to the Card­ing­ton area, and she worked with D.M.I. in Delaware, help­ing with their bot­tle ship­ping com­pany. Then, for the past nine years, Pam has worked for Card­ing­ton Yutaka Tech­nolo­gies, until she was no longer able due to her health. A ded­i­cated and hard worker, she always took great pride in her work. She always went above and beyond what was asked of her, and she was very much appre­ci­ated by her superiors.

An ani­mal lover, Pam cher­ished her four cats who were more than just pets to her. She also loved mak­ing arts and crafts, such as wood carv­ings, paint­ings, and knittings.

With a love for the out­doors, Pam enjoyed most any­thing ‘out­doorsy’, such as camp­ing, fish­ing and going to races.

A ‘spunky’ and at times ‘feisty’ lady, Pam was quiet and kept to her­self until you got to know her. She espe­cially loved her grand­chil­dren, and cher­ished every moment spent with them.

She will be dearly missed by her two chil­dren: Lora (Randy Bar­tram) Blake, and Joey Gochenour, both of Card­ing­ton; six grand­chil­dren: Kyla, Maken­zie, Junior, Brock, Jor­dan and Cameron; an ‘adopted’ son, Corey Bor­ing of West­er­ville; her sis­ter, Vicki (Gary) Counts of Mount Gilead; sev­eral nieces and nephews; and by her com­pan­ion, Dave Sheets of Delaware;

Includ­ing her par­ents, Pam was pre­ceded in death by a spe­cial friend, Frank Boring.

A time of cel­e­bra­tion of Pam’s life will be held on Sun­day, August 19, 2012, from 3 — 5 p.m. at the Delaware State Park, Buck­eye Grove Pic­nic Shel­ter, 5202 U.S. 23 N., Delaware. It will be a pot luck of sorts, so every­one is encour­aged to bring your appetite and a dish.

Memo­r­ial con­tri­bu­tions may be made in care of Pam’s fam­ily to assist with unex­pected expenses, and they may be sent to the care of the funeral home.

Sny­der Funeral Homes of Mount Gilead is hon­ored to have been cho­sen to serve Pam’s fam­ily and your pri­vate con­do­lences may be expressed to them online by vis­it­ing www.snyderfuneralhomes.com.
