Pamela Holmes

October 25, 1935 — June 11, 2025

Los Angeles

Pamela Holmes, born on October 25, 1935, in Los Angeles, California, passed away peacefully on June 11, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Pamela was a beacon of positivity and encouragement, touching the lives of many with her warm spirit and steadfast support.

Throughout her life, she embraced a variety of secretarial and bookkeeping jobs but found her true joy in homemaking and raising her beautiful family. Pamela took great pride in nurturing those she loved, instilling in them the values of kindness and resilience. Her family remained her proudest accomplishment, a testament to her unwavering dedication and boundless love.

Pamela had a deep connection with her community and the beloved sport of baseball. A lifelong Dodger fan, her love for the game brought joy not only to her but to those who shared countless afternoons cheering for their team. Her passion for baseball was rivaled only by her love for reading and challenging herself with crosswords, hobbies that brought her much enjoyment throughout her life.

She was a devoted sister to James Macfadden, who survives her, and she leaves behind her cherished children: Sue Dolan, Joni Heine, Jim Allen, Carole Allen, Mark Allen, David Holmes, and William Holmes. Pamela's legacy continues through her family, all of whom carry forward her spirit and values.

Pamela is also remembered lovingly by her siblings who have passed—her sisters, Diane Eichenhofer and Joni Macfadden; her brothers, Bill Macfadden and Kelly Macfadden; and her son, Robert Allen. Each of them held a special place in her heart and her memory lives on in the stories shared and the moments remembered.

Pamela’s funeral service will be held on July 2, 2025, at 12:00 PM, at the Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills - Old North Church in Los Angeles, California. In this serene setting, family and friends will gather to honor her life, share treasured memories, and celebrate the love that continues to resonate in their hearts.

In remembering Pamela Holmes, we cherish a woman whose life was a true reflection of love, joy, and an enduring spirit. She will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
