Pamela Ann Engel

Pamela Ann Engel, 72, of Grayling, MI passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 15, 2025 with her sons by her side.

Pam was born on December 6, 1952 to Andrew and Lois (Doom) Hymers in Detroit, MI. Pam was a well known and beloved member of the community. No matter where you went in town you were sure to find someone who knew Pam. She was a woman built of strength and determination and she was unwavering in her love for the people within her circle.

She held countless jobs throughout her lifetime and had a resume so long and vastly varied it would be hard to believe. She had a passion for everything she did and held a wealth of knowledge and experience to be shared whenever asked.

During her time working at Hartwick Pines State Park; either as a DNR employee, The Friends Group Bookstore Manager, or as a volunteer; she was a pillar of strength, support and knowledge. She became a familiar face to all who visited the park and she looked forward to visiting with all of them every time. She also spent years working at Citizens Bank and Glen’s Market (now Family Fare) where she met countless people and was able to make a strong connection within the community.

Her love as a Mother and Grandmother was endless. The highlight of her life was her grandchildren whom she enjoyed spending as much time as possible with.

Pamela is survived by her children, Tonia (Tony) Silveri, Heidi (Troy) Jundt, Kristy (Nathan) Strong, Jason (Melissa) Gomez, and Brian (Nicole) Gomez; siblings, Wendy Campbell and Pattie Fulton; grandchildren, David, Michael, Matthew, Joey, Sydney, Seth, Grant, Wyatt, Riley, Mason, Gabriella, Sawyer, and James; and many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her husband Richard Engel and her parents.

A memorial service will be announced in the spring.
