Pamela Bindi Walsh – formerly of Monongahela

By obits

Pamela Bindi Walsh entered this life on July 9, 1941, in New Eagle, and entered into the larger life on Jan. 31, 2019. Pam was the daughter of George and Ginny Bindi, formerly of Monongahela. She was married to Patrick Walsh for 50 years until his death in 2012. Pam, Pat and their children lived in many different states in the U.S. including Arizona, New York, Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Florida. She had recently moved to the Atlanta, Georgia area to be closer to her daughters. Pam is survived by her children, Kari Fields, her husband Kit and their daughter, Riley; her daughter Kelly and her husband Barry Rutledge; and her son Kevin Walsh. She also leaves behind her sister, Genie Bindi Lee of Camarillo, Calif., and her brother, James Bindi of Monongahela. While we grieve for the loss of our mother and sister, we know that George, Ginny, her sister, Judy and Pat on the other side are welcoming her with open arms. Life is eternal and love never dies.
