Pamela Louise Marie DeJohn (Olshack), 71, lost her battle with dementia on July 31, 2018 at Townview Health and Rehabilitation Center in Canonsburg, PA.

    Prior to her battle with dementia, Pamela enjoyed spending time with her family, dancing, shopping, gardening and decorating her home.  She selfishly spent many years of her life taking care of others, before sadly losing the ability to take care of herself.

    She was the loving wife of Thomas M.

    In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by a granddaughter, Gabrielle Jones.

    Friends and family will be received from 2pm to 8pm, Friday August 3rd in DeAngelos Funeral Home at 194 East College Street in Canonsburg.  A funeral service will be held Saturday August 4, 2018 in the funeral home with Rev.
