Pamela Tomaszewski Obituary

Pamela Krizan Tomaszewski
Oxford, MS
07/27/1943 - 04/11/2025
Pamela Susan Krizan Tomaszewski passed away Friday, April 11, 2025, at Oxford Health and Rehab, Oxford, MS, after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease. She was 81 years old.
A Mass honoring her will be Thursday, May 8, 2025, at 10 a.m. in the morning at St. John's Catholic Church in Oxford, MS.
Pam grew up in Manistee, MI and loved small town life. Her parents owned a steak house and she waited tables there during high school and her college years. She moved to Atlanta, GA in 1971 with her husband, for his career in the gasoline industry, where she lived the major part of her adult life. She was a devout Catholic, attending daily Mass at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church in Brookhaven, GA for over 40 years. She was an avid tennis player, playing on several teams over the years at the Blackburn and Brittany Clubs until she broke her hip and then her daily exercise was Water Aerobics at the Ashford YMCA. Although she had no formal training, she had a good eye for decorating her home and spent many weekends scouring Flea Markets and Estate Sales in search of items she could use in her home or sell in her consignment ventures. In her later years, she and her husband, Paul, moved to Oxford MS, the home of their eldest daughter, as their health began to decline, After Paul passed away, Pam moved into Assisted Living at the Magnolia at Oxford Commons. She adapted very well to her new environment making a lot of new friends and attending church services at St. John's Catholic Church and periodically, First Baptist Church where she was embraced by the Karis 1 Ladies Sunday School Class. Pam was active and loved life and will be missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by Jennifer Tomaszewski Kincaid (eldest daughter) of Oxford, MS, Anne Tomaszewski (daughter) of Riverdale, GA; Olivia Kincaid (granddaughter) of New York City, Caroline Kincaid (granddaughter) of Oxford, MS; William Kincaid (grandson) of Oxford, MS, Michael Kincaid (grandson) of Oxford, MS; and Christina Krizan Gielczyk (sister) of Rockford, MI. She was predeceased by her husband, Paul Tomaszewski; parents, Charlie and Helen Krizan of Manistee MI; and her older brother, Chuck Krizan of Arizona.
The family would like to thank the staff at Oxford Health and Rehab, the staff at Magnolia at Oxford Commons and the staff of Arden Home Health and Hospice, Michelle Alford Farrow (sitter and friend) and Mr. Van Lucas (special friend) for all of the love and care for "Miss Pam".
