Pamela C. VanLier

PAMELA CHARISSEE VANLIER (KEITH), was born to the lovely Gloria Redden and the late Theodore Keith in Buffalo, New York.  God suddenly called her to His presence on June 18, 2020.  

Pam attended the Buffalo Public School system where she obtained her diploma.  Despite any obstacle she may have faced in the world, she tried to make her peace with everyone.  Anyone who knew her or ever cared to have a conversation with her adored her for her outspoken ways and firm demeanor.

She was blessed with three children:  Shay, L.T. and G.J. all of whom she constantly spoke highly of and loved whole heartedly and unconditionally.

She became proudly fond of the bonds she began building with her sisters.  No matter the time of dat, she would call for her daily therapist session or swap stories od Harlem with them.

Pam was mostly a joy to be around.  She could sit and talk to you for hours about all the memories.  She would have you in tears because of all the laughter.

She leaves to cherish her beautiful memories her mother Gloria Redden, her daughter Shanavia Wilson, two sons; Theodore Wilson and General VanLier, Jr., three grandchildren; Mya Harris, Phoenix Rose and Harlem Rose.  Her brother; Charles Redden, two sisters; Theodora (Ralph) Haynes, Karen (Michael) Tatum along with extended brothers and sisters and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.  Two life-long treasured friends Nancy "Ms. Tuesday" Jackson and Rosalee "China Doll" Bishop and her companion James McClaurin who she loved to the end!
