Pamela Wicks Perry

Pamela Wicks Perry, 88, of Vero Beach, FL passed away on July 15, 2022, at home surrounded and guided by family. She is predeceased by her husband, David A. Perry, and their son, Peter.

She leaves behind her adoring daughters Cindy Perry and Susie von Rosenvinge, as well as five grandchildren: Katie, and her husband Roccou; Emily, her husband Ross, and their daughter Madison; Sarah; Petie, and his wife Maeve; as well as Perry, and his fiancée Anne. Born in Boston, MA, Pam was raised in Wellesley. She was a summer camp counselor at Meadowbrook Day Camp, where at the tender age of 15 she met the love of her life: Dave “D.A.” Perry. Pam attended Beaver Country Day School and went on to study at Curry College. After college, she moved to New York, enjoying a brief career in modeling. She then had a fulfilling career as a stewardess for American Airlines, a job she truly loved. Soon after leaving the airlines, she married her long time love, D.A.. They were soulmates and best friends for over 72 years, until the time of his passing in April 2022.

David’s career as a pilot for TWA afforded them the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the world as a family. Together they took a leap of faith and moved the family to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for six years, knowing the experience would educate and enrich the lives of themselves as well as their three children.

Pam, affectionately called “Muzzie” by her family, was an avid athlete, excelling in figure skating throughout her life. She was part of a precision skating team with her daughter Cindy for several years, winning multiple national championships. Always an enthusiastic spectator, one could hear Muzzie cheering for her grandchildren throughout their various sports competitions. Not only athletic, Pam, was also a talented artist with a strong background in interior design. Combining rich color palettes and textures, she made any house her family lived in a lovely, warm space. She assisted Susie, her youngest daughter, in launching a successful career in painting and design. Ever encouraging, she inspired her children and grandchildren to pursue their creative paths in life.

Pam’s greatest legacy will be her deep love, care, and attention she gave her husband, children and grandchildren.

She cherished time with them enjoying long, spirited conversations around the dinner table taking on the next willing victim in cards and backgammon.

Pam’s family would like to thank the VNA for the exceptional care she received.
