Pamela HARVEY Obituary

My heartfelt Condolences go to your whnau Pamela.

Today I found out this very sad news that you had passed several years ago now.
Having had you at my side throughout my ordeal Pamela you were truly a remarkable woman but in office but more so out of the office. You were an amazing support but most of all a friend to myself and my whnau during those times.
Thank you for your Beautiful heart in caring for us. You will be sadly missed but forever loved.

To Pamela's family and friends, please accept my deepest most heartfelt condolences. It was with great shock and sadness that I learned that one of the very best lawyers I've ever met, and one of the most inspiring role models, and simply one of the loveliest ladies I ever met, has passed on. Pamela was one of the many lawyers who found themselves assigned to act for me, and she might not have been all that tall, but I tell you what, she stood head and shoulders above most of the others, she was the epitome of integrity, and Pamela went well beyond her duty, she really and truly did all she could for me. Many lawyers claim to be champions of the underdog and advocates of the vulnerable, but Pamela Harvey really earned those titles unlike many others. She won't ever be forgotten by me, and i'm sure I'm not alone in being a very grateful client of one of the best lawyers I ever dealt with, and one of the finest women I've ever met. She will be very fondly remembered, I think of her often.

To Chris, Mark & Family

Very sad to have heard the news last night that my dear friend Pamela had passed away several weeks ago now. I worked with her on Mental Health Proceedings in Wellington and she was always lovely and kind, compassionate and a strong advocate for the vulnerable. She also loved to have a coffee at Mode and catch up on all the gossip. Looking back over her emails she told me that she could "hurtle around the streets (of Canberra) and go 40K without a charge". I think she was amazing and I will never forget her.

To Chris, Mark & Family
It's been a long time but Pam was never forgotten. From the days of Loughnan deCleene and Co, to teacher @ PNBHS to solicitor for my friends and particularly to Cricket that's was a really big part of my upbringing. I will never forget working as a 12yo as a helper for the 1977 women's world cup that came thru PN one of the tasks you gave me was to go and buy smokes for the ladies from the blue moon dairy lucky I knew the owner as I was too young to be allowed to buy them!
Pam even helped me with my School C French too I had to sneak out from college house down to Carol St for lessons lucky it wasn't far away!
I do hope the last 25 years of your life Pam were and fun filled as the years before that with Seed at your side and the world as your oyster, I am sure this was the case.
Thanks you for being part of my life Pam. You can rest in peace now.

Our thoughts too. We're friends of Ian James

Chris, my thoughts and condolences are with you and extended family over this difficult time. Pamela was, and still is, the most extraordinary and inspirational lady I've ever met and I feel very privileged to have met such a strong, intelligent and fiercely altruistic person. I first met Pamela in 2012 when, during some of my most difficult days, she would say to her falling apart client, "pull yourself together Nicola and get on with it!" Oh what an amazing woman she was! Love and best wishes to you all Chris, I will miss her dearly.

Thinking of you Chris, and everyone else in Pam's family, the many friends and colleagues... she was an inspirational person and whilst we only had the pleasure of her company on a rare occasion (knowing her through Gabrielle) she is one of those people you always remember - warm, vibrant, informed and interesting. Thinking of you all at this sad time, love from Michelle Rush and Jeff Flavell

Chris,Mark,Susan,Ian and Helen.
Thoughts and love are with you all.
Our dinamic, kind and generous Cousin will be remembered with much fondness. Chris and John Puklowski

I was so saddened to learn of Pam's passing.
To all of Pam's family I send you my heartfelt condolences. You have lost an amazing lady.
I too was a "cricket tragic" and I would like to share my most vivid memory of Pam during our cricketing days.
One night at cricket practise, (she was wicket keeping) a ball reared up, hit her in the mouth and all we could see was blood!!! As we all rushed to her aid, she stood up and said "I'm alright - it only hurts for a minute and it's not as bad as it looks, just get on with the game!" And we did..
Rest In Peace Pam

Thoughts with you and your extended family Chris as you reflect on a life well lived. Treasure those memories.

Dear Chris,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of dear Pam's death. We first met when Neil, my late husband and John were working together on the Manawatu Evening Standard in 1970. She was a great friend in the early years of our first marriages and I loved her dearly. I was sad that we more or less lost contact but always thought of her as one of my closest friends. Pamela had a great sense of humour as well as a strong sense of fair play. she often babysat my children while I was studying and they too will be very sad.
Lots of love, Jocelyn Rennie

To Helen, Ian & Susan
It's a great loss to hear of Pam's passing. My memories flood back to my childhood days living next door to the James family at Tiakitahuna. Pam was always so full of life and had a cheeky grin to go with it.
Though small in stature, she was never deterred from giving it a go! My thoughts are with you.

Chris,

So very very shocked and saddened to read of Pam's passing.

My heart goes out to you mate, and to all the family. Hope it's some comfort for you to know others are grieving, however distant the connection.

Great memories, Chris, of working on your Kelburn home all those years ago, and of the many kindnesses both you and Pam showed me.

Heartfelt sympathies mate.

Phil

I am sorry to here this sad news of Pamela she was a lovely lady I had her for my greatgrandaughters who were in chic youth and family

Dear Chris and family
Many years ago Pam wasn't just the very loud rather short lady who worked with my dad she was a role model. She would come to my mock trials and offer support and feedback challenging me to do better each time. I remember thinking I want to be that smart and that tough!! I remember both Pam and Chris coming to dinner mostly because it meant mums amazing coffee and chocolate ice cream cake would be around but I'd also learn something from the discussions around me. I was so incredibly fortunate to have Pam around me in those teen years. I knew women could do anything I had the living proof in front of me.
My deepest condolences to Chris and all Pams family.

Very deep condolences and best wishes. I have such great memories going back to my teenage year. Pam has always been a part of my adult life and I cherish the memories of the fun and opportunities that I had because of her.

It was with great sadness I received the news I had dreaded.
My first memory of Pam, before I knew her as a beloved friend,was as an opposition goalie at the other end of a hockey field.Pads almost to her ears she charged our forwards and scared the hell out of me even though as a back I was well out of her range.
Circumstances dictated and she was to become a friend, many memories have been shared, all of kindness, humour and much fun.
A life well lived by a very special woman who it has been a privilage to have called a friend. Pam always gave so unselfishly of herself and taught many life lessons.
My heartfelt sympathies to Chris and all of Pam's family. xxxx

Dear Chris and family,
It is with a heavy heart that I write these words. It is so hard to express feelings of sadness without sounding trite. So I shall describe the enduring memory I have of the vivacious (and vertically challenged) wife of my fave (and vertically exaggerated) boss as they would waltz around the Moresbi residence overlooking the sea, with Pam's feet hovering about two feet off the ground, to peals of laughter echoing around the sultry evening air.
In honour of this spunky woman, who lived to push life's boundaries, Ross, Itzia, Vesper and I have donated a brick in a wall of a hospital for women here in Phnom Penh.
I paste here the message to Pamela from the hospital: The Women of Cambodia would like to express our deepest thanks to you for your kindhearted donation and support of Nokor Tep Women's Hospital.
Please follow the link https://nokor-tep.net/index.php/progress for the progress of the hospital construction.
Again, thank you for standing with the Women of Cambodia and Nokor Tep Women's Hospital.
With all our love,
Zoe, Ross, Itzia & Vesper
