Pamela was the youngest of three, born Dec. 30, 1948, in Danville, to Clifford and Violet "Lucille" (Smith) Hoag. She attended Jamaica area schools, graduating in 1967 and going on to Western Illinois University, where she graduated with a bachelor's in education in 1971. Throughout the years, Pamela taught at Homer and Heritage school districts, retiring after nearly 30 years. Pamela enjoyed raising her family and making their house a home. She enjoyed spending time on the lake in their boat, spending their winters in Florida, and a good water aerobics class. Pamela never missed her grandchildren's plays and football games and was their biggest fan. She attended St. Patrick's Church, as well as St. Charles Borromeo Church of Homer and was a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma, where she developed friendships that she carries through to this day.
On Dec. 18, 1971, Pamela married Tim Tighe at St. Patrick's Church, and the two have shared just shy of 52 years by one another's sides.
She leaves behind her loving husband, Tim; daughter, Tara (Jim) Chandler; son, Timothy (Amy) Tighe Jr.; five grandchildren, Elizabeth, Nathan and Jacob Tighe and Carly and Cassidy Chandler; her brother, Clifford "Clint" Hoag Jr.; and a sister-in-law, Norma Hoag.
