She was a mother to many who lived her faith

Pam's kind heart, always willing to help, will be remembered.

Pam Fletcher, wife of the late Graham Fletcher, well-known in Parys for the work he did during his lifetime at Lotsha Ministries, passed away on April 12 at the age of 78.

Pam dedicated her life to help people, which included the Bright Star courses and teaching/educating of people on aids and the devastating effects of drug abuse.

She was a kind, gentle and loving person. When Graham passed away in 2020, it was hard for her losing her lifetime partner. Together they reached out to those who lived on the streets, those who were hunger, those devastated by drug addiction and those in prison.

After his death she continued serving the community on her own – listening and helping wherever she knew help was needed.

She lived in faith. A dear friend, brave, kind, generous, adventurous, but most of all – someone who always left you higher. A mother to many.

Her story

Pam (Pamela) Robins was born on December 14, 1948, as the only child of Bill and Glady Robins of England.

She was very talented. She played the piano and did ballet, as well as ice skating. At a young age she performed in an ice show at the Wembley Ice Stadion.

She was fond of classic music and always loved dogs. Her black poodle called Gabby, and in later days Tess, was known by many. Parysenaars often saw Pam and Tess at the SPCA fun walks.

She met Graham while woking for Graham’s father. The Fletchers moved to Parys more than a decade ago.

Her car was always packed to the brim with Bibles and e-pap, because Pam lived her faith.

She stayed at Amot the last years of her life, and will forever be remembered for her kind heart and soul.
