PAMELA B. "PAM" AVERMAN With deep regret, we would like to announce the sudden passing of Pamela "Pam" B. Averman on Tuesday, April 28, 2020, of complications due to pneumonia (not coronavirus). Pamela is survived by her devoted husband of 32 years, William Averman; her daughters, Jenifer Ellenberg and Lesley (John) Homer; and her grandson, Christian Homer. She is the sister of Barbara (the late David) Jones and Barry Bock and the late Michael Bock. Pam is also survived by her sisters-in-law, Mary (Ron) Downey, Phyllis Conley, Jean (Chris) O'Donnell, Janet (Steve) Ericson and Diane Hester; and her two uncles, Larry (Judy) Bock and Thomas (Ruby) Jones and many loving nieces, nephews and cousins. Pam was a graduate of CCAC School of Nursing. She worked as a registered nurse at Mercy Hospital for 28 years and was a proud original member of the Nurses' Health Study. She later enjoyed a second career working with her husband, Bill, as the owners of Coastal Displays of Pittsburgh. She was a member of a Huntington's Disease family and with Bill, where they served on the board of the Western PA Chapter of the Huntington's Disease Society of America for many years. Pam is remembered for valuing her extended family and keeping in touch with everyone over the years, looking forward to family reunions every summer, enjoying her South Park Book group and vacationing in Emerald Isle, North Carolina.
