Kam Pinzone Forment

It is with great love and respect that our family announces the passing of Kam Pinzone Forment, 85, at her home on July 3, 2024. She was surrounded by those things that meant the most to her: family, friends, and flowers. Kam was born on May 25, 1939, and raised in Chardon by her parents James and Elaine Pinzone (nee: Baker).
She graduated from Chardon High School and went on to own and operate her own salon, Vanity Station, for 50 years, bringing beauty into the world for so many in our community. Kam's journey through life was imbued with various interests and adventures that made her a dear friend to all who knew her. She was an avid golfer and once a member of the ladies' league at Chardon Lakes Golf Course. Kam had an unconditional love for Chardon, participating in many community activities including the Arts Festival on Chardon Square and volunteering for the Geauga County Mental Health Board. She was an accomplished artist who enjoyed painting, crafting, cross stitching and tending to her beautiful flower garden. These talents, combined with a love of all things outdoors were shared with her surviving children, Deena Forment Adams, and Bradley V. Forment, both of Chardon, as well as her grandchildren Cayle Adams (Lily) of CO, Cody Adams (Gracie) of OR, Erin Schneider (Joe) of AZ and Mollie Walters of OH. Of the many roles she played, "Gramma Kam" was her favorite. Spending time with and inspiring creativity in her grandchildren, building worlds and advocating for wonder and imagination: that was her proudest work.
Kam is also survived by her sister Anita (Pinzone) Garner/Clark and Sister-in-law Linda Pinzone, nieces and nephews, Scotty Garner, Misti Garner and Christina Garner, Mike Wolcott, Kelly Skorepa, Denise Welden and Halle Pinzone Diehl. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Donn Pinzone and sister Faun Pinzone Peters.
Her circle of friends is legendary, and we give special thanks to those who were by her side as dear friends, helpers, and confidantes.
