Pamela Campbell Brundage

Pamela Campbell Brundage, born February 18, 1952, in Hartford, Connecticut, to James and Patricia (Walls) Law, passed away peacefully on May 14, 2026. She grew up in Hebron, Connecticut, and graduated from RHAM High School. She later pursued studies at the University of Connecticut, though her education never truly ended - she was a lifelong student, teacher, and seeker of knowledge.

Pam can be fondly remembered for her expression “go slow, see more,” a quote that many around her have heard countless times. A walk with Pam meant you might learn 5 new plants, and move at a pace where each step offered the opportunity to marvel at the natural world. In a society where everyone moves quickly, Pam moved at whatever speed she darn well pleased.

Pam was truly larger than life, the type of woman you could meet once and immediately understand her profound healing energy. She was a wonderful massage therapist who dedicated her life’s work to offering people exactly what they needed to feel well within their body. She was a master herbalist, making salves & tinctures to remedy any ailment. Her work was well known in the community and some of her family considers her bug spray “world famous.”

Pam loved rocks and was known to make rock-related jokes at least twice a day (three times if you were lucky). If an interesting rock or mineral caught her eye, you had to be prepared to spend the next few hours absorbing her encyclopedic knowledge of the finding. Her depth and heart-felt engagement with all things of the natural world; plants, minerals, weather, the human body, it was all a playground for her always interested mind and heart! “Pammy” wasn’t one for the mundane. 

She loved to sing in various choirs throughout her life, most recently at Uconn where she saw the music hall as her second home. You didn’t have to be in a music hall to hear Pam’s voice though, as she would break out in song at any given moment. We caught her harmonizing with her great-niece, Josie, on at least one occasion.

Auntie Pam was a friend of hundreds, and loved by even more. She is survived by her brother and sister-in-law, James and Daneen Law; her sister, Susan Law; her nieces and nephews, Brittany, Lindsay, Jamie, Connor, and Kate; her great-nieces, Londyn and Josie; and her great-nephew, Fletcher. Josie will forever remember Pam as “Auntie Goggles,” a nickname inspired by Pam’s love of swimming with her beloved goggles and flippers. One of the last sounds Pam heard was the joyful infant laughter of her great-nephew, Fletcher.

While we are all sad to lose our dear Pam from our tangible lives, we are happy for her new journey in the universe, and to be free from all bodily pain. We will see her in the stars, the spring flowers, shaded meadow of grass, and sparkling on the surface of Sheep’s Pond.
