Pamela Anne Carroll, of Manchester-By-The-Sea, MA, and Lower Sugarloaf Key, FL, passed away peacefully on October 23, 2024, at the age of 76, after a courageous battle with COPD. She was a loving mother, grandmother and friend whose kindness, elegance, and zest for life touched all who knew her.
Pam, as she was affectionately known, was born on December 6, 1947, in Ipswich, MA, to Edwin Theodore Jones and Betty Davis Jones. She spent her early years in Ipswich and graduated from Ipswich High School before attending Bay State Junior College, where she served as President of her senior class. She went on to work for the President of Allied & Bacon in Boston, MA, where her intelligence, charm, and grace left a lasting impression.
In 1967, Pam married Myles A. Carroll, and together they raised two children, Elisabeth (Lisa) Leslie Carroll and Brendon Myles Carroll. Pam and Myles shared a marriage of 53 years, filled with love and adventure, until Myles’ passing in 2019. They enjoyed many cherished moments at the Jubilee Yacht Club, the Key West Yacht Club, and their homes in Manchester-By-The-Sea and Lower Sugarloaf Key. Pam’s passion for gardening led her to membership in the Seaside Garden Club and the Key West Garden Club, while her love for fitness found her working alongside her dear friend Carole Shanley in Manchester-by-the-Sea.
Pam’s beauty and spirit were magnetic, lighting up every room she entered. Known for her infectious laugh, adventurous soul, and warmhearted nature, she had a kind word for everyone she met. Whether cruising on her boat or in her convertible, Pam’s confidence and grace always turned heads. Her inner beauty, unwavering love, and dedication to her family and friends will be remembered as a legacy of warmth and light.
Pam leaves behind her daughter, Elisabeth (Lisa) Leslie Carroll Gitlin, and her husband, Jason, of Peabody, MA, as well as her son, Brendon Myles Carroll of Los Angeles, CA. She will be dearly missed by her grandchildren: Elana Gitlin, Jake Gitlin, Hunter Carroll, and Griffin Carroll.
In accordance with Pam’s wishes, a private ceremony will be held, with a celebration of her life planned for a later date. Memorial donations in her name may be made to Sweet Paws Rescue at sweetpawsrescue.org.
Pam’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
