Pamela G. Stuart, age 68, of Almond, NY died peacefully at Strong Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, April 28th, 2020 after a brief battle with lymphoma.
Born in North Hornell on February 14, 1952, she was the daughter of Gene & Doris (Mann) Norton and the step-daughter of LaVerne Adams.
Pam grew up in Almond and was a graduate of Alfred-Almond Central School, class of 1970. She excelled at track and soccer while at Alfred-Almond and loved to share stories of her intramural sports competitions. Pam also enjoyed competing with the Alfred Track Club. She was inducted into the Alfred-Almond Sports Hall of Fame in 1995.
She spent time working at Bethesda Hospital, Sun Valley Campsites, and the Alfred University bookstore until her retirement. Pam devoted most of her life to staying home and raising her four children. When she became a grandma for the first time in 2005, she started a tradition of Sunday dinners that will never quite be the same without her amazing cooking! She also took great pride in having the world’s most perfect left-handed penmanship.
Pam was predeceased by her mother Doris E. Adams, step father LaVerne Adams, and her brother Gary Norton.
She is survived by her Husband, Richard “Dick” Stuart; her children Megan (Philip) Stewart, Jake (Jen) Stuart, Josh (Brigit) Stuart, Jarett Stuart (Emily Nielsen); her grandchildren who were the true joy in her life: Cael Stewart, Tanner Stewart, Owen Stuart, Ryleigh Stuart, Trevor Stuart, Wyatt Stuart, and Levi Stuart; her sister Ami (David) Hunt; and several nieces and nephews.
Per Pam’s request there will be no funeral or burial services. Her family deeply appreciates any thoughts and prayers you want to send our way.
Funeral arrangements are in care of the Dagon Funeral Home, 38 Church St., Hornell, NY

Dick — I read of Pam’s passing in the Alfred Sun. You and I worked together many years ago and my memory is they were good years for the most part. You and I had the one tussle that turned us into friends I think later on. For sure there was a lot of respect. With Pam’s passing I hope with the help of time, family, and friends, you will find the peace to go forward. My best, Pete Fackler
My condolences go out to Dick and all of Pam’s family. I remember Pam as a kind and gentle woman and I enjoyed visiting with her at the Alfred University bookstore. May she be at peace with the angels.
Dick, so sorry to hear of Pam’s passing. I had no idea she had been ill. I have fond memories of her at the Bookstore. Prayers my friend. Beth
