In loving memory of Pamela Welsh-Black who sadly passed away on 15th December 2025, aged 86 years.
Pamela will be sadly missed & fondly remembered by sons Gary & Kevin, family and friends.
She lived in Twydall for many years & had been suffering with vascular dementia since being diagnosed in 2017 which eventually led to her being admitted into a care home back in Feb 2020.
Pam was fascinated by the wonders of nature in the world around her. She would always be observing trees, plants, flowers, the sky, the Sun & Moon, cloud formations, the sea & waves, & the ever changing seasons. She was always looking for places to explore & new things to see.
She especially enjoyed the marvels of what could be seen from just her own small garden, or from local parks & woods. These were all examples of God's beautiful creations, be it birds singing, squirrels feeding, foxes playing, storm clouds gathering, sunbeams shining, or rain drops falling. She looked up as often as she looked down & saw many things that others missed or couldn’t see.
Her generosity meant she would often donate to local charities & other good causes, including sponsoring the health & well-being of deprived & less priviliged people around the world. Her warm personality meant she was always welcomed & liked when attending coffee mornings at her nearby local church.
Pam always expressed a keen wish to keep everything as simple as possible in her life & the family have extended this beyond her life. She would prefer no frills & no fuss for the family, including no public ceremony & to this end, Pam had a private direct cremation. Her close family will celebrate her life & honour her memory at a future time & place yet to be confirmed.
If you knew Pam, please leave a message, light a candle, or make a kind donation to 'Wisteria Cat Rescue' using the options at top right of screen. Mum was always fond of cats & they were naturally attracted to her welcoming lap.
Pam left a lasting impression on all who knew her & now she will be looking down from above.
I wish to personally thank John Weir & especially Anna, for the extremely comforting support given to my family at this very difficult time.
RIP Mum, you left us with some wonderful, cherished memories.
Love , Gary

This message is in recognition of a sincere friend who I know from my local Astronomy club, who recently gave me heartfelt condolences for the loss of my Mum & a very kind donation for the charity. Thankyou David.

Remember as a child the anticipation opening my christmas present each year. What would be in the box? She would wrap lots of individual useful presents, then place in a shoe box that had also been wrapped in christmas paper. It was such a surprize opening, and always took time to open everything. Thank you. Xxx

Thankyou for your message. I wish to give thanks all staff at Pine Lodge care home for their continued support given to Mum since she became a resident back in Feb 2020. My experience with all staff has been really positive, friendly & helpful. There has always been a cake brought out on Mum's birthdays & staff have always been attentive & considerate to myself & family.

I do miss my Pammy so much. She was so loving and caring towards me. She did make me laugh so much with her sense of humour and directness.
She was very loyal to the ones she cared about.
I loved Pam and she will always be in my thoughts. Thank you for sharing your mum with me Gary. I truly appreciate it.

Thankyou Ilana. I really appreciate everthing you ever did for my mum at Pine Lodge. You were like the daughter she never had, & whenever she was feeling down due to her dementia, you had an amazing ability to lift her up. I'm so grateful to you.

Dearest Pam - I couldn't have asked for a lovelier mother-in-law! We shared so many wonderful memories, especially when Luke and Tara were young. I know how much you appreciated visiting places with us and being a massive part of our family. You will be sorely missed xx

Mum loved to write poems about all the things she enjoyed in life. Her grandson Luke nicknamed her 'Poetic Pam' & she adored that name. This is one of her favourite poems, which was actually used by her care home in their newsletter back in Jan 2025.
