Pamela Lorice Jameson, 66, of Loves Park, passed away on August 1, 2025. Born February 5, 1959, in Rockford, she was the daughter of Maxwell and Pauline (Higgins) Ward. Pam graduated from Auburn High School in 1977, where she also took part in nursing classes that led to early work at Rockford Memorial Hospital on the dialysis floor.
Pam later joined Chrysler, where she built a long and steady career, retiring after 28 years as a Waste Water Treatment Technician. On October 5, 1985, she married George Jameson Sr., and together they built a life focused on family.
Pam was a loving and deeply loyal woman who carried the worries of her family and friends close to her heart. She enjoyed quiet moments with George at the casino, where the noise of the world faded away. She also liked the simple pleasure of a scratch-off ticket and the thrill of a small win.
She is survived by her husband, George; children, George (Cynthia Livingston) Jameson Jr., Jeff (Erica) Jameson, Justin Jameson, Jennifer Jameson; grandchildren, Antonio Migliore, Bradlee (Brittnay) Phillips, Britnee Phillips, Lars Jameson, Ashley Royal, Lexi (Matthew) Royal, Rebecca Jameson, and Tika Jameson; and great-grandchildren, Theo, Junior, Violet, Lennox, and Sage Ray. She is also survived by her siblings, Linda Ward, Paul (Cindy) Ward, Carol (Riley) Thurber, and Tom (Deana) Ward; special nieces, Tracie Ward, Kerrie Ward-Craigmyle, Angie Didier; God Daughter, Stephanie Ward; along with many other nieces, nephews, cousins; special friends, Brandon (Jesse) Chambers, and their children, Kaleb, Kayson, and Kyland.
Pam was preceded in death by her parents; her son, Joshua Phillips; and her brother, Ken Ward.
