Celebrating the Life of
Pamela McGiboney
June 6, 1950 — May 23, 2023
Obituary
Pamela Rachelle McGiboney was born on June 6, 1950, in Elmira, New York and was the third of six kids. Her family moved from New York to California when she was seven years old. She passed away on May 23, 2023, surrounded by her family.
Pam will always be remembered as a creative, loving, fiercely loyal friend, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and wife. She loved making her own greeting cards and holiday decorations in a craft room that would make Martha Stewart jealous. She enjoyed book club and wine nights with her friends, hosting holiday gatherings with her family, music, movies, and her beloved dogs Buster and Ginger.
Pamela is preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Patty Howe, and brothers Freddy and Doug. She is survived by her husband of 29 years, Gregory McGiboney, her stepson Christopher McGiboney, stepdaughter Danielle Canning, four grandchildren Caleb and Grace McGiboney, and Michael and Stephen Canning, sisters Jackie Garcia, Lissa Luttge, and Kasia Child, as well as her nieces and nephews Bryan, Tommy, Rosie, Adam, Benjamin, Colton, Diana, Evan, Fred, Debbra, and Patrick.

Memories and Condolences
Please share a photo or video, or post a heartfelt condolence to the family.
At this very difficult time I extend my condolences to Greg and the entire family. My thoughts are with you and I hope you all remember the great times you had with [Pam]. I love you all.
Our condolences to the whole family.
Even though we hadn’t seen or spoke to each other for a while, I love her very much and miss you deeply.
I met my cousin for the 1st time in 1972. I was 12, she was 22. We reconnected several years ago. She commented on how she loved talking with me. Our politics were very much aligned, as well as liking many of the same bands. It came as a surprise when it dawned on her there was only a 10yr age difference. She asked me why we hadn't hung out more when my family 1st visited. I reminded her although 10 yrs isn't much of a difference at this stage of our lives, it was huge when I was 12 & she was 22. Pam, I will miss the cards you made & sent with such love, I will miss our chats & texts. We were always checking in on each other when we heard of bad weather, fires, earthquakes, etc. Spread those angel wings & fly. I find peace knowing you have been reunited with our family that went on before you. Love & miss you Pam.
