Pamela C. Nessler Obituary (1946

Pamela C. Nessler, 78, of Palm Coast, Florida passed away Tuesday, March 25, 2025. She was born on November 26, 1946 in East Orange, New Jersey. She was the youngest of five children all from a loving father and mother. With nearly an (18) eighteen-year age gap between her next sibling, Pam was the only child to attend and graduate college, which made her parents and siblings so very proud. She dedicated her life to her passion of mentoring and inspiring children of all ages as a schoolteacher in both Catholic and Public schools. She taught most of her career in Verona, New Jersey where she established some very long-lasting friendships with colleagues. Throughout her life, Pam has received many handwritten cards and letters (which she has cherished and saved) from numerous students who expressed to her their gratitude for the help and guidance that each had personally received from her both in and out of the classroom, which inspired positive changes in their lives throughout their school years and later in life. She and her husband Fred (who have been married for over 54 years) enjoyed the beach, the ocean, boating, and most of all, each other’s company. Together, they were active members of the Forked River Tuna Club in New Jersey along with enjoying other activities throughout the years. They enjoyed family gatherings and especially enjoyed watching their nieces and nephews grow up. Together, they have donated privately to numerous charities on a continuous basis for many, many years to help those who need it most. In recent years Pam battled cancer with her husband right by her side. Fred was always there for her, and although at times things were difficult, he did everything humanly possible to help make her life as good as it could be every day. They were great together. In her last few months, Pam knew that those who loved her were always praying for her. Her husband was right at her side along with other family members when Pam peacefully passed away at home surrounded only by love. Pam and Fred were lifelong members of the Catholic Church. A deep faith in God had strengthened and guided them both throughout their many years together. It is because of their unwavering faith that we can all be assured that Pam is now in a better place. Pam had recently stated many times that she had lived such a wonderful life, and she was so very thankful for it. Pam is survived by her loving husband, Frederick W. Nessler; nephew, Richard Gerstner; nephew, Edward Angiuoli; niece, Valarie Cutrale; nephew, Tony Angiuoli (wife, Rose Angiuoli); niece, Karen Cutrale; niece, Cheryl Cutrale; and other extended family and friends. She is preceded in death by her father, Antonio Cutrale; mother, Pauline Cutrale; brother, Anthony Cutrale; sister, Sylvia Cutrale; brother, Carmen Cutrale; sister, Gloria Cutrale; nephew, Donald Gerstner; and niece, Kathy Cutrale. She was loved by so many who are now left broken hearted.
