Pamela Jean (Winslow) Mong, 59, Benezette

Pamela Jean (Winslow) Mong, 59, passed away on July 31st, 2025 in her hometown of Benezette, PA; the same beautiful place where her story began on May 16, 1966. Born to the late Jane (Johnny) Parisi and Gary Winslow, she was a beacon of light in the lives of everyone who knew her. After a life so richly lived, Pam left us on a whisper of the summer breeze, surrounded by the natural beauty she so dearly loved.

Pam dedicated 17 years to Christ the King Manor, providing support and kindness to those in her care; her warmth being an embracing presence during times of need. Her commitment to her community shone brightly through her 9-year role as Township Supervisor and Secretary in Benezette, where she served with an unwavering dedication to progress and unity, a true reflection of her love for her hometown and its residents.

Anyone who knew Pam knew of her love for her pets. They were not just animals in her care but members of her family who brought her immense joy and companionship. Her passion for gardening was another facet of her love for life. Pam found solace in the soil and beauty in the blooms, creating a sanctuary for herself and a haven for wildlife in her own backyard. Pam's passions painted the tapestry of her days with vibrant colors. She found joy in life's simple moments; cherishing time spent with loved ones most of all. Her laughter echoed around campfires, sparks ascending to the stars as anecdotes and affection were generously shared.

Those who knew Pam best would use three words to best encapsulate her essence: loving, funny, and selfless. In every role she played, from wife and mother, to sister and friend, Pam's love was an unwavering force that could be felt in her every action and seen in her ever-present smile. Her humor was a source of joy and relief, especially in times of hardship, uplifting the hearts of those around her. Selflessness defined her; Pam never hesitated to put others before herself, spreading kindness without expectation of return.

She will be remembered for her quick smile, her readiness to lend a helping hand, and her unwavering commitment to her family and friends. Pam's legacy will continue to bloom in the gardens she nurtured and in the hearts of those she touched. Her memory will be cherished, her presence sorely missed, and her life celebrated by all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Pam's departure from this world leaves a space that can never be filled, yet her legacy endures through the adoration of her family, the cherished memories of friends, and the indelible mark she left on her community. Her life was an ode to the beautiful interconnections of humanity; how one soul could touch so many others and make the world endlessly brighter.

As we bid farewell to Pamela J. Mong, we hold tight to the thought that her spirit has only taken flight on a new journey. While we will miss her earthly presence, her impact remains as a guiding light; an inspiration to live fully, laugh heartily, and love without reserve. Pam's story may have reached its terrestrial conclusion, but her narrative of love and laughter will be recited in the stories of loved ones for generations to come. Rest in peace, dear Pam, until we meet again under the wide Pennsylvania sky.

In addition to her parents, Pam was preceded in death by her brothers, Scott and Mike Winslow.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Ray Mong; cherished children, Jaden and Michael Mong; sister, Jodie Winslow; mother-in-law, Marlene Long; nieces, Jennifer and Danielle Geiser; sisters-in-law, Michele Hockman and Jayne Defrain; brother-in-law, Geoff Sidelinger; and aunts-in-law, Roberta Mong and Alice Smith. Pam's love and laughter also extended to her close friend, Kara Zaffuto, who stood by her side through thick and thin. Each of her loved ones will miss her dearly, yet also celebrate the wonderful memories they shared with her.

A Memorial Service will be announced at a later date.
