Pamela Dommes Obituary
After a courageous battle with cancer, Pamela K. Dommes passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, April 27, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.
Pam was born in Swoyersville to George and Mary Ellen Audi and graduated from Wyoming Valley West High School. She went on to earn her bachelor's degree in early childhood education at Bloomsburg University and later received her master's.
After graduation, Pam returned to her alma mater, and for the last 32 years, she held her dream job of being a 6th and 7th grade middle school science teacher. Pam's passion was teaching and empowering her students to succeed and dream big. Some of Pam's involvement includes the NASA Project Endeavor, student council, teacher mentor and talent shows.
Pam loved to travel, and anyone who knew her knows the beach was her happy place. In the summertime, Pam could be found on her front porch greeting and talking with the neighbors.
Pam was an amazing human being. While battling her cancer, she found the strength and compassion to offer guidance, wisdom and support to friends and family who were in their own struggles. Pam always knew she was blessed. She was a grateful, patient, kind, generous, and loving daughter, mother, sister, aunt, friend, teacher and co-worker.
Left behind to cherish her memory are her only child, Max; her mother, Mary Ellen Audi; sister, Tammy Audi; brother, George Audi and wife, Denise; nephews, Jake and Nick Miscavage and Dylan Audi; niece, Gabriella Audi; and many cousins.
She was preceded in death by her father, George Audi.
We were all BLESSED to have had her in our lives. "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
A viewing will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday at Mamary-Durkin Funeral & Cremation Services, 59 Parrish St., Wilkes-Barre. A blessing service will be held at 5:45 p.m. at the funeral home. Interment will be held privately in St. Mary's Antiochian Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in her name to Candy's Place, Kingston.

I have the fondest memories of Pam and though I didn't know her for a long time, she was one who left an indelible impression by taking the time to care, listen and truly understand another. I know she is deeply missed by many, and I'm positive my life is better for having known her. Thank you for making me a better person through knowing you.

Pam was a wonderful human being who I had the pleasure of knowing for the past 8 years. She was a very caring, compassionate, intelligent and thoughtful person. I am certain she has made a positive impact for so many. I for one, have been inspired by her selflessness and ability to live her life to the fullest while continuing to help others along the way. Her soft, gentle voice, laugh, sense of humor and warm smile is something I will always remember. She was a beautiful person inside and out. My life is better for having known her. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family and friends whom she loved and cared for so deeply. She will be greatly missed. As I look at the waves, I will remember the peace and happiness they brought to her. Rest in peace.
