Pamela Bosca Obituary

BOSCA
Pamela T., 93, a resident of Allendale, New Jersey, and formerly of Palisades Park, Teaneck and Harrington Park, New Jersey, died Sunday, August 3, 2014.
Pamela was born in Fairview, West Virginia, on January 29, 1921. She was the daughter of Clarence Clinton Tustin and Phyllis Stanley Tustin. Pamela was predeceased by her parents and her brother, Stanley.
She married Alden A. Bosca in Palisades Park on July 19, 1947. He predeceased her on April 23, 2004. Pamela and Alden were the loving parents of Andrea, Lloyd and Amy. Pamela is survived by her children and their spouses: Andrea and John Tackach, Lloyd and Jeanne Bosca, and Amy and Harry Maronpot. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Jeffrey and Gregory Tackach, Clinton (and wife Nicole) and Elizabeth Bosca, Alison and Alexa Maronpot, and her great grandson, Jaydin Mavety.
Pamela graduated from Paterson State Teachers College in 1942. She is listed in "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges" for the years 1941-1942. Among her many accomplishments she held the office of vice president of her Senior class, vice president of the Psychology club, and vice president of the Spanish club.
After college, Pamela began her career as an elementary school teacher. She taught for six years in the Palisades Park school district, then took time off to raise her children. Later, she spent thirty-three years as a first and third grade teacher in the Harrington Park school district. She was the first recipient of the state of New Jersey's Teacher of the Year Award for that district. More importantly, she touched the lives of countless lucky and grateful students. She was an exceptional teacher to many, and a beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother to her more than lucky and eternally grateful family.

Memories and Condolences
for Pamela Bosca

Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Bosca was my First Grade Teacher and wish the Family of Mrs. Bosca strength and peace. I am saddened to read of her passing and will hold dear the memories she has given to me when I was just 6 years old-43 years ago. She was so kind and gentle towards us. I learned to be a good "helper of the day". And I learned the responsibility of being trusted with the attendance sheet-bringing it to the main office after the first period began. There was an Elf which she would put over the alphabet letter (above the chalk board) which would correspond to the name of the Student who was the designated "Helper". If I remember this, and she would always say, "an elephant never forgets", then she must have made a big inpact on my life. May she rest in peace. With affection, Evan Schneider

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my first grade teacher at Harrington Park Grammar School. I am one of the lucky students able to benefit from her kindness, warmth and wisdom. Although it was almost 34 years ago I can very clearly remember being in her classroom with Mr. Elf sitting on her desk. She was a special lady.

Dear Bosca family,
I am a former student from when she was teaching at the Harrington Park Public School. What a legacy she had and a long life she lived.
My condolences to the family. I remember fondly when she was showing me how to button my sweater.
