Pamela M. Onesi, 69, of Niagara Falls, NY, Loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend, passed away on March 8, 2022 at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center.

A 1971 graduate of Madonna High School, Homecoming Queen, and captain of the cheerleading squad.  She was warm, affectionate, talented, creative, caring, generous, and above all else, kind.  If she was your friend, she was your friend for life and she gave the rare gift of loving people right where they were and allowing people the space to be exactly who they are, never trying to change anyone.  She made a home for everyone who needed one and was considered a second mother by many.  Her life was devoted to others, especially her children and grandchildren, and spent countless hours volunteering for many church and civic organizations throughout the United States.

Predeceased by her parents, Edmund and Mary Agnes (Read) Batchelor, and youngest sister, Mary Elizabeth Batchelor - She is survived by the greatest children in existence, Ruthann Onesi and Josh Onesi and his two children, Aurella and Blake Onesi, two incredible sisters Susan (Rick) Martinez and Deborah (Mike) Frink, and former spouse and friend, Mark Onesi.

As for what happened, "Life isn't simple, it's complicated.  We're all just thrown in here together, in a world full of chaos and confusion, a world full of questions and no answers."

To my mom, and my very best friend - I will love you until the end of time. I hope your spirit can assist those of us touched by your existence in how to remake our lives without you.

She never wanted to be the center of attention, but she's gone now, and we can do whatever we want, so a Celebration of her Life will be held at a future date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, memorial offerings may be made to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105. Arrangements by M.J. Colucci & Son Niagara Funeral Chapel.
