Pamela A. Francioni

Pamela A. Francioni, 60, of Hobbie passed away on Friday, January 13, 2017 at her home, surrounded by her family, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Nanticoke on June 6, 1956, she was a daughter of the late Margaret (Sassman) Madaj and James Mace. She was raised and educated in Nanticoke, and was employed at American Tobacco for 15 years. Pam stopped working to become a full-time homemaker, providing a warm and loving environment for her husband and children, who she cherished and adored. She greatly enjoyed completing the tasks that came with the job, especially cooking and baking. Pam was very proud of her children and was looking forward to the birth of her first grandchild this summer.

She loved to play with and care for her cats. She also liked visiting yard sales where she looked for treasures.
