Pamela Lazar Obituary

Pamela H. Lazar born 10/19/54 in Bath, NY passed away peacefully on November 9, 2019 after a serious illness. She graduated from Haverling Central School in Bath, NY, and then attended Bryant & Stratton Business School in Buffalo, NY. Early in her career, she worked as a legal secretary for private law firms. At the time of her death, Pam was employed as Assistant General Counsel at the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida, supervising attorneys in the complex business litigation division. While working full time, she completed both her undergraduate degree in Liberal Studies at Barry University (1996) and her JD at the University of Miami (2001). Pam designed and created her own line of porcelain dolls. She was a voracious reader. Famous for her baking specialties, she always treated people to delicious baked goods on special occasions. She will be remembered for her quick wit, sass and sarcastic retorts. She is survived by the love of her life Allen S. Lazar, her sister, Susan Moss (Bill Ehrlich) and nephew Gregory Ehrlich. She was predeceased by her parents, Willis and Jane Hayward, and dear friend and mentor, John R. Farrell. A Celebration of Life is planned for a later date.

I just heard about dear Pam's passing, and was shocked and saddened. I first met her when she was assistant to General Master John Farrell, and throughout the years we became friends.
A lover of animals, we would enjoy showing each other our fur-babies' photos, and we even ran into each other a couple of times at the humane society.
Pam was so smart and funny; great to have conversations with.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I first met Pam in the late 1990s when she was John Farrell's judicial assistant. Later, I attended her law school graduation party and worked with her for a while on the court's general counsel staff. She was a special person and I will remember her fondly. Allen and Susan, my deepest sympathies are with you.

Allen Bob Glassman and I were so saddened to hear that Pam passed away. We both admired her quick wit and hard work to complete college and law school while working a full time job. Pleas accept our heartfelt sympathy. We now live in the Carolinas so we can't be with you in person but please no our hearts are with you and Pams family
