Pamela Case Obituary

Pamela Ann Case (Daniels) passed peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Savior on June 14, 2025, at the age of 93.

Pamela was born in London, England on September 29, 1931, to Robert and Doris Achurch, and raised in Woodbridge, England by Reginald and Phyllis Daniels. Pamela and her brother Ronald grew up during WWII and endured many hardships. During the war years, the family welcomed child evacuees from London, and food rations, gas masks and bomb shelters were a part of everyday life. It was through these hardships where they learned the importance of letting nothing go to waste and how to "make do and mend", lessons that Pamela carried with her the rest of her life.

Pamela attended the girls' day school in Ipswich where she developed a love for divinity and history. She began attending St. John's Episcopal Church in Woodbridge at the age of ten and the church was a very important part of her life from that day forward.

She learned to knit as a very young girl, and this quickly became her passion. At any given time, she had several knitting projects in the works - scarves, hats, sweaters, mittens, prayer shawls, etc... - all to be gifted to others, sometimes to family, often to strangers - anyone in need. She was very skilled at her craft and relished the chance to teach her gift to others.

In her teen years, Pamela worked at the Woodbridge Telephone Exchange as a switchboard operator, which led to a comical encounter with Loren Case, an airman working the switchboard at nearby Bentwaters Air Force Base. The story goes that one of them "got their lines crossed" which resulted in a loud blast in the other's ears, but neither one would ever confess to any wrongdoing. This incident led to a blind date and resulted in the couple being wed in July 1952.

In 1953, Pamela and Loren, along with their baby girl, Marjorie, moved to the United States, residing with Loren's family in Minnesota. The couple worked very hard and built a home in Roseville where they raised their 6 children.

Pamela began attending St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Roseville where she was very active in many programs including homeless outreach, welcoming and assisting refugees, and was very dedicated to the knitting ministry.

Pamela was known by all for having a very kind and generous heart. She loved to send cards and gifts for all occasions and instilled in her children the importance of being kind to all, especially to those who were hurting or feeling left out.

Over the years, Pamela and Loren enjoyed several visits to her beloved England, some of which included the entire family! Pamela loved everything to do with the royal family and was thrilled to see Queen Elizabeth II in person on one of her visits. She also met former hostage, human rights activist and author, Terry Waite, which was a very meaningful experience for her, and one she spoke of often.

Just a few years before passing, Pamela was reunited with her birth brother, Roland, which brought them both much joy. Roly was even able to attend Pamela's 90th birthday celebration, where they shared a lot of laughter while holding hands and sipping tea!

Although Pamela's childhood saw much hardship and heartache, she loved and cared for her family, friends, neighbors and strangers in a way that made her a remarkable human being that will be missed dearly.

Pamela was preceded in death by her birth parents and siblings, adoptive parents and sibling, and her loving husband of 67 years, Loren Case. Left to cherish her memory are her 6 children: Marjorie (Darrell) Amberson, Pamela (Garry) Haas, Bruce (Heidi) Case, Valerie (John) Richter, Vanessa (Russell) O'Dell & Stephanie Case, twelve grandchildren, eight great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.

Pamela will be remembered during the weekly 9:30 AM service on Sunday, August 3rd at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Roseville, MN. Memorial contributions can be made to St. Christopher's Children's Ministry in Pamela's honor at:
