Obituary For Pamela Roth
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL – Pamela Joyce Rothwell Roth, age 91, formerly of Madison, WI passed away on September 22, 2023 at The Highlands at the Moorings in Arlington Heights, IL. She was born in Reading, UK on April 25, 1932 to William Rothwell and Margaret Parker Rothwell. Due to her mother’s death and her father’s battle with multiple sclerosis, Pam moved to Amesbury, UK in 1939 where she was raised by her loving Aunt Alice Thompson with whom she shared a close relationship. Pam lived in Amesbury throughout World War II, and her family had to make many sacrifices like so many others during the war. True to her British upbringing, Pam was a huge fan of the Royal family, and one of her fondest memories was being a spectator at procession of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. When she was 21 years old, Pam emigrated to the United States. She sailed on the S.S. America in November 1953, and passed through Ellis Island on her way to Madison, WI where she went to live with her cousin. Pam met her future husband, John Roth, in Madison in 1958 and the two were married within months of their first date. They celebrated 50 years of marriage before John’s passing in 2009. Pam was a stay-at-home mom who loved her children deeply. She loved gardening, reading, and playing golf and tennis.
Pam was preceded in death by her loving husband, John Stephen Roth, her Aunt Alice Thompson, her parents William and Margaret Rothwell, her brother John Rothwell, her cousins Maggie Schmidt and Georgie Ford and her grandson, Stephen Mackey. Survivors include her children, Maggie (Dave) Mackey, Fran (Jeff) Nemeth, Jonathan (Joanne) Roth; grandchildren Christopher (Amanda) Mackey, Stephanie Mackey, Sam (Rachel) Nemeth, Jack Nemeth, Ian Roth and Alice Roth; and great-grandson Callum Nemeth.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Peter’s Catholic Church, 5001 N. Sherman Avenue, Madison, WI on Saturday, October 28, 2023 with a visitation commencing at 9:30 AM and the Mass at 10 AM.
