In Memoriam: Longtime Little Silver Resident, Pam Nye Llewellyn, 61

Longtime Little Silver resident, beloved wife, mother, sister and “Mimi,” Pamela Nye Llewellyn, passed away on Sunday, April 21. She was 61.

Born on Nov. 22, 1962, Pam graduated from Wall High School, where she met her girlfriends affectionately known as The Core, who remained lifelong friends.

Pam graduated from Rider College with a Bachelor of Science and Commerce degree. She later went to night school to become a teacher and taught Spanish to middle and high school students for more than 20 years, most recently at Ocean Township High School.

“She truly loved her job, faculty and students. Pam was an empathetic teacher who had a particular fondness for finding creative ways to reach her students and make school fun (something that she learned from her mother, the person who Pam admired the most in her life). She was creative and caring, spotting students who needed special attention and taking them under her wing.

“Above all else, Pam valued family, friends, and fun. She was a proud mother, who encouraged her children to be adventurous and live out their dreams. She and her husband Pat made the most of every moment together with weekly lunch and dinner dates, countless hours spent at the beach, and trips to San Diego, Colorado, and Cape May. They always fit in fun adventures and weekend getaways. Lovingly referred to as Mimi, she loved nothing more than spending time embracing and inspiring her grandchildren, Patrick III and Cassidy.

“Pam was a true Jersey Girl at heart, with a love for Bruce Springsteen, Vic’s Pizza with her family, and the beach. She always maintained strong friendships connecting with people at CrossFit, teaching, and in her neighborhood. She had a passion for all things nature – especially her dogs, birds, trees, gardening, and the ocean.
