Obituary For Pamela Jean Yeager

November 1, 1953 - February 9, 2020

Yeager, Pamela Jean (Benson), passed away peacefully Sunday, February 9, 2020, with her family by her side. Pam was born on November 1, 1953 in Pittsburgh to Raymond and Dolores Benson (Ball). She was raised in the South Hills of Pittsburgh and graduated from Baldwin-Whitehall High School class of 1972. Pam is survived by her loving husband of 25 years, Daniel W. Yeager. Pam had 3 children and 8 grandchildren; sons Adam (Melissa) Lefcowitz, Josh (Jenn) Lefcowitz, daughter Tamara Lefcowitz (Steve Mescan), and grandchildren Alycia, Jeremiah, Ruth, Joscelyn, Judah, Aviella, Meaghan, and Stephen. She is also survived by two sisters and a brother, Judy Eckert (Marty) and Marlene Galiszewski (Jerry) and Scott (Cindy) Benson; as well as many nieces and nephews. Pam was preceded in death by her sister Darlene Benson and her parents. Pam will be remembered by her family and friends as a fighter who lived life to the fullest. After a liver transplant in 1996 that saved her life, she continued to work and share meaningful time with all those around her. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, especially her trusty sidekick Peanut aka Nut-Nut. Family will welcome friends at the JOHN F.

    Dan, I'm so sorry for your loss. Pam was a great person and I'm sorry I didn't keep closer contact with her. Back in the day, Pam was my best friend but over the years we slipped apart and for that I'm sorry. My heart breaks for you and her children. My prayers for you and her family.
