On Friday, October 16, 2026, Pamela Taylor Clarke, 71, found eternal peace following a period of declining health.

Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts on August 27, 1955, Pam was the youngest daughter of Wilfred and Olive Robertson Taylor. Pam grew up on Bridge Street in Salem, New Hampshire with older sisters, Jeannie, Sandra, and Janet. She attended local schools, graduating from Salem High School in 1973.

Pam was a proud mother, daughter, sister, and auntie. She cherished her family and loved spending time with them. Pam had a great memory and was often called upon to share stories from her family’s history. She once combined her love of crafting with genealogy to make pictorial family trees for everyone as gifts.

Holidays were a joyous time for Pam. She especially loved Thanksgiving, which has always been an important tradition in the Taylor family. Over the years, she shared many laughs over games played with loved ones after Thanksgiving dinner.

Pam also enjoyed traveling to visit her sisters in Texas and Florida and taking trips with her extended family. Many memories were made in places like Disney World, the Finger Lakes, Lake George, Niagara Falls, and Nova Scotia. Pam was always up for an adventure, even if it was just going for a drive or meeting up with family or friends for lunch.

Pam leaves behind her son, Matthew T. Clarke; sisters Jeannie (Moses) Koeroghlian, Sandra (Bill) Adams, and Janet Hibbs (Trisha Lippold); nieces and nephews, including Ernie (Laura) Koeroghlian, Mark (Janet) Koeroghlian, Todd Adams, Erin Rice, Brett (Dianarose) Adams, and Deanna (Drew) Mullins; and countless great-nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends. She is predeceased by her beloved parents, Bill and Olive, and her faithful pug, Jeffrey.
