Pamela Jean (Palmer) Rogers

Pamela Jean Rogers, of Circleville, passed away at The James Cancer Hospital on Thursday, April 13, 2023 at the age of 66. She was a beloved wife, mother, Grammy, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and friend.

Born on July 23, 1956 in Cambridge, Ohio, she is the daughter of Phylis (Wells) Palmer and the late Don Palmer.

Pam was a devoted wife to Tony for 44 years, she treasured time that she spent with him, their two children, and seven grandchildren.

Pam dedicated much of her life to loving and serving others. That dedication took different shapes throughout her full life but the themes of selflessness and love remained. Before her two young children were school-age, she was able to stay home with them, teaching and nurturing. Once her kids were in school, you could find Pam in the hallways of the local school, extending that love and care to others as well. In the local elementary school (Washington) she volunteered and was an aide for 15 years. She then retired to begin the best job of her life, full time Grammy. Seven grandkids later it was clear this wasn’t just about her giving joy and love but also receiving it from those she cared for.

Pam enjoyed traveling, especially near lakes, oceans and mountains. But her favorite place was spending time on her back porch with her husband Tony. She was also an involved member of Heritage Nazarene Church in Circleville. Together she and Tony served in many roles such as volunteering with the youth group, teaching children’s Sunday School and leading Children’s Bible Quizzing.

In addition to her husband Tony, she leaves two children, Shannon A. Gott and husband Matt of Hilliard, Ohio; Benjamin L. Rogers and wife Caitlin of Wakefield, Rhode Island; seven grandchildren: Ethan Gott, Theodore Rogers, Brody Gott, Josephine Rogers, Margo Rogers, Hadley Gott and Beckham Rogers; her mother Phylis, sister Trendle Agsten and husband Jim, brother Derek Palmer and wife Tina, her in-laws Charles and Helen, sister-in-law Sue, and many uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews. Pam was predeceased by her father Don and infant sister Trina, and her brother-in-law Randy.
