Pamela W. Winston, born May 25, 1949, passed away peacefully on November 18, 2025. A longtime resident of Covington, Kentucky, Pam lived a life defined by compassion, conviction, and an unwavering commitment to the causes she believed in. Throughout her life, Pam dedicated herself to social and environmental activism and advocacy for people facing special challenges. She worked tirelessly to make her community-and the world-more just, equitable, and sustainable. Her professional career in nonprofit development and volunteer management reflected her deep belief in the power of people working together for the common good. Those who knew her admired her integrity, warmth, vivacity, and a steadfast optimism that inspired everyone around her. Pam found joy in simple, beautiful things: tending to her houseplants and garden, being in the woods, and spending meaningful time with friends and family. Her curiosity, humor, and generous spirit left a lasting mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her. She is survived by her sons, Shane (Gail Francis) and Brian (Susanne) Dickey; sisters, Lisa (Rob) Hughes and Sr. Colleen "Bobbi" Winston; grandchildren Dakota Blackwell and Miles Dickey; nieces, Jamie (James) Hils, Kristin (Blake)Tewes, and Allison Hughes; and nephews Jason (Heather) and Eric (Lisa) Suedkamp. Pam was predeceased by parents Wright and Marian Winston and by two sisters, Colleen Winston and Patty Suedkamp. A celebration of Pam's life will be held in the future. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Baker Hunt Foundation, Cincinnati Association for the Blind, or the Sierra Club Foundation.

"Her curiosity, humor, and generous spirit left a lasting mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her"- I'm one of those people. Through the brief amount of time I worked with Pam, she was someone that I looked up to greatly. She stood out because she was so smart, genuine, kind, the first to help, and just always gave you the feeling that she believed in you. Although I'll miss her greatly, her positive influence will always be with me.
