Pamela Copenhaver Obituary
She was preceded in death by her father, William J. Norbeck, Jr., mother, Loma Dale (Flohr) Norbeck, and brother William "Joe" Norbeck, III.
Pamela was born in York, PA on April 27, 1953 and lived there all her life until 2023 when she moved to Indianapolis, IN to live with her daughter. She graduated from York Votech and was a seamstress for many years until she became a medical billing specialist. She retired in 2015 and devoted her time to her walking club, The York White Rose Wanderers of which she was the president until moving to Indiana, geocaching, and cross stitching which was her all-time favorite craft.
A service of remembrance will be held on her on her birthday, April 27, 2024 at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church at 1502 4th Ave, York, PA 17403. Visitation will be at 10am and service to follow at 11am.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation or the Little Red Door Cancer Agency.

Pam was the President of YWRW for eighteen years, but I knew her before she offered to become the Pres. In those many years we were close with all the club things, but there were many times when we did club trips to different states and counties of PA. There was times of fun we shared, but there were times we shared the loss of other ladies from the club. Sad times as I have felt from the passing of Pam more recently.
Losing our best friend and club president is not going to be easy, but we will keep all the good memories with us. Enjoy that walk on the heavenly trail, Pam.

I met Pam and Jim first on Facebook through a mutual friend. Years later happily met in person for lunch at a Diners - Drive Ins - and Dives restaurant in Sarasota Florida. Pam truly was a woman who oozed goodwill! She was the person you met yesterday - but somehow have known all your life! I followed her and Jim on most of their walks. When I say "followed" I mean enjoyed all the pictures she posted. It was a pleasure to have known her.

I don't remember what we were crafting for a walking weekend (I think it was State College) and I can't remember exactly what got us laughing, but Pam, Deb Choiniere and I laughed until we cried. Pam made everything fun and yet worked tirelessly. I will miss her.

My memory of Pam is her beautiful cross stitching and walking with my sister. Ronnie and my daughter, Mary Beth. So sorry for the family's loss.

I became facebook friends with Pam. During COVID had heard of my mother's plight at Country Meadows with getting masks to her. Pam made masks for her and many others there and even delivered them personally! I will never forget her kindness and willingness to do such a wonderful thing for so many residents there during their time of great need. We also shared a battle of breast cancer journey together. It was with great sadness that I read of her passing and I will always remember and her sweet and loving husband Jim. Thinking of you all during this time. Pam and Bill Adams
