She was born Sept. 20, 1962, in Hartford, CT, daughter of the late Morris and Sylvia (Kotkin) Feigenbaum. As Pam was so much younger than her two oldest sisters, she was fondly referred to as the “baby sister” throughout her life. She attended public schools in West Hartford, CT. She had her Bas Torah service at Beth David Synagogue in West Hartford, and she was a 1980 graduate of Hall High School where she was editor in chief of the student newspaper. Pam received a Bachelor of Arts degree, cum laude, with a major in journalism from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1984. After graduation, she worked in Miami Beach as a copy editor for Knight-Ridder’s Viewtron service. In 1986, she moved to Westchester, NY to work for Gannett Suburban Newspapers, followed by the Winston-Salem Journal in 1994, the Chicago Sun-Times in 1998 and the Washington Post in 2000. She was a resident of Fairfax Country, VA until she moved with her dog, Zoey, to live with her sister Susan and brother-in-law Jay in Chesterfield MO in 2018.

Pam volunteered at the K-1 classroom at the H. F. Epstein Hebrew Academy in St. Louis and was a favorite to her young students, calling her “Auntie Pam”. She attended Nusach Hari B’Nai Zion synagogue in Olivette MO.

She leaves her loving sisters- Dr. Susan Feigenbaum (Dr. Jay Pepose) of Chesterfield, MO and Jane (Edward dec.) Ellis of Glastonbury CT. She adored, and equally adored by her nephews and nieces, Brian and Karen Ellis, David, Max, Sam, and Morissa Pepose.
