THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, October 11 , 2019 Page 17 OBITUARIES Pamela A. (Martin) Mahoney Passed away unexpectedly while on vacation with her two daughters in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 71 years old. Pam was born in Winthrop and was raised in East Boston and Revere. She attended Revere schools and is an alumna of Revere High School, Class of 1966. Pam continued her education at Wilfred Beauty Academy and became a Hairstylist. She followed her passion and had a career that spanned over 40 years in the industry. Throughout her long career, she worked in Boston, Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop and was also the resident Hairstylist at the Jack Satter House in Revere. Over the years, Pam made countless friendships; she was more like family, not just a hairstylist. As a young, single mother of 3, she raised her family in Revere and later in life she moved to Malden. She provided for herself and her children with a great sense of pride. Her witty personality and comedic sense of humor drew people towards her. While working from her home at times, her clients usually had a meal to enjoy as well. There were many times when Pam extended her kindness to someone who couldn’t afford to have their hair done and she would do their hair for an event. She was loved by so many who knew her and was considered a second Mom to many of her children’s friends. Pam was a woman who was genuine, kind and true. Her actions spoke for themselves; she lived her life as a “Giver” and if you were her friend, then you were a friend for life. Her family recounts the many happy times they all shared together, celebrating holidays, birthdays, significant life events and the wonderful meals she had prepared over the years. Although her passion was being a hairstylist, her love was her family. Her daughters were her best friends and she adored every minute of being a mother and Grammie to her grandchildren.
