Pam was born and raised in Paterson, New Jersey.  She was the youngest daughter and one of nine children to Antonio and Palmira Mastrogiovanni.  She resided in the Athenia section of Clifton for many years before moving to Leesburg Florida.  In recent years, Palmira enjoyed the life of a “snowbird” as she spent winters in Florida and summers with family in Wayne, New Jersey.  While living in Florida, Pam cherished the loving support of her brother Edward and sister-in-law Ruth, with whom she spent each day.  She also enjoyed socializing with friends and members of their community.

Pam was loved and is survived by her sister-in-law Ruth Mastrogiovanni and generations of nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her husband John Bollettino (1991), her brothers; Edward, Frank, and Richard Mastrogiavanni, and Tony and Nick Mason and sisters; Sophie Boniello, Mildred Swetz and Jen Ciarlo.
