Obituary

Pamela Grant, age 74, of Hustisford, WI, passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 4, 2026 from cancer, at home under the loving care of her husband, Michael.

Pamela, the daughter of Joseph and Salome Brown, was born on March 29, 1952, in Freeport, IL. She graduated from Verona High School in Verona, WI. She worked for many years as a school secretary, and her kindness and love for children was evident throughout her career. She eventually followed her entrepreneurial dream and opened The Mercantile, a warm and inviting shop that sold handmade gifts, specialty foods, clothing, and other unique finds. As the proud owner and operator for 15 years, Pamela created a warm and inviting space where she truly enjoyed connecting with customers and the community.

Outside of work, she was an active member of the Husty Gardens, hosted a local radio segment called “Pam’s Jams”, and was a founding member of the Husty Players theatre group, where she was able to share her passion for theatre, music and dance with the local community. She had a lifelong adoration of animals (she loved spoiling her “granddoggies”), and could be a ruthless competitor in a game of Euchre.

Above all, Pamela was a loving friend, daughter, sister, wife, and devoted mother and grandmother, deeply cherished by her children, Lucas and Emma, and granddaughter, Rowan. Words cannot express how much she was loved and will be missed.

She is survived by her husband, Michael; her children, Lucas and Emma; her daughter-in law Rachel; her granddaughter, Rowan; and her siblings, Dan, Veronica and Jean. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Salome Brown.

An urn burial will be held at St. Andrew Catholic Cemetery in Verona, WI at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 16, 2026.

Dear Emma and Mr. Grant, My mom shared this sad news. Mrs. Grant was always so kind and full of joy- at school, basketball games or visits to your house. I enjoyed reading that she opened a store and had a radio show. Thinking of you all during this sad time. I hope you find ways to celebrate her life and memory!

I worked with Pam when she worked on campus back in the 70s. We shared many many happy times her and Mike were made for each other and I spent many days with them when they lived by Lake Kegonsa. I cannot believe that she’s gone. It’s not right. It’s hard for me to put into words how I feel about Pam I loved like a sister. Our birthdays were only a day apart, so I always called her my star sister. The last time I saw her was last year at her mom‘s funeral and she was the same old Pam always excited always smiling. She could always make me smile. When I tell people about Pam when we talk about friends, I I would say she’s always excited. She’s always full of wonder. She was always brave. I know I’m gonna miss her forever.

Mike and Family, Bob and I are so sorry for your loss. Pam was truly a light in this world. She was one of the first people to befriend me when we came to Waukesha, and she had a wonderful gift for making everyone feel welcome and included. She was a beloved school secretary at St. Mary's, and I always enjoyed Mass when she was the lector or the cantor. What a beautiful voice she had! Pam started our book club more than 20 years ago, and it is still going strong today. We were so sad when the time came for her to move away from our community, but we were also so happy for Mike and Pam, as it seemed they had found their little heaven on earth in Hustisford. Pam touched so many lives with her kindness, warmth, and generous spirit. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. The heavens have another angel at their tabel. With our deepest sympathy,

I met Pam and Mike when I first moved to Wisconsin from Indiana in 1977. My friend Tom Primeau, worked with Pam at Ohio Medical. Pam and Mike embraced us and invited us many times to their home on Lake Kegonsa. We went to see our favorite bands at Off The Wagon on Monona Drive. We shared many good times. Pam always called Me, and Tom and our other Indiana friends, her Hoosier Friends. I am heartbroken.

We were so sad to hear of Pam’s passing. She. was always enjoyable to be around. You never just stopped in the Mercantile, it was always an experience. You would start at the frount of the store before you knew it you were tasting wine and deep in a conversation with Pam and everyone in the store!!! She will be missed by many.She was so proud of her kids and thrilled to have a granddaughter. .
