Pamela Jane Johnson

February 12, 1954 — April 4, 2022

Latham - Pamela Jane Johnson, 68, passed away suddenly at home on Monday, April 4, 2022. Pamela was the daughter of the late John Kelly and Margaret Jane (Slyker) Kelly.

From 1989 to 2016, Pamela was a loyal member of the Albany County Sheriff's Office and worked as a Correction Officer at the Albany County Correctional Facility. She enjoyed her job and forged many friendships with her fellow officers. She also spent several years working at the Albany County Nursing Home, totaling 31 years of service for the county. In retirement, Pamela spent many a night passionately playing bingo throughout the Capital District. She will be forever known for her kind, helping heart that would not hesitate to lend a hand to whomever needed it. Those who were lucky enough to enjoy a holiday dinner with her will, unquestionably, miss her world-famous stuffing. Pamela lived for her family. She was the epitome of unconditional love and a fierce protector of her family, especially her children and four grandchildren, to whom she was lovingly known as Nana.

Pamela is survived by Robert Bauer, her loving companion of 30 years, her daughter, Karen (Johnson) Swedick (Joseph Palumbo), her dear friend, David L. Johnson, her daughter-in-law, Alison Johnson, her sisters, Betty (Kelly) Bellmar and Kathy Kelly, her brothers, James Kelly and Joseph Kelly and her grandchildren, William Johnson Jr. (Mackenzie Quintal), Kennedy Rose Swedick, Olivia Rose Johnson and Stephen Kai Johnson, a number of nieces and nephews, many loving family and friends, and finally, her faithful dog, Snickers.


Pamela is predeceased by her father and her mother, her sister Bonnie (Kelly) Ashley, her sister Dawn (Taylor) Witecki, her brother John Kelly and her loving son William D. Johnson, who was undoubtedly standing at the Gates of Heaven waiting to embrace her again.
