Pamela I. Chiola

PAMELA I CHIOLA, of Colonia, died peacefully Tuesday November 19, 2024, with her loving family by her side. Pam was 73 years old. Born in Newark, NJ, Pam resided in Colonia for most of her life. 

Pam is survived by her adoring husband of 32 years Jim DeLuca, children Al (Albee) and Jeff, daughter in-law Jes Chiola, her two grandchildren Casey and Tyler, Sister Natalie Minerva, niece Dawn Hein, her husband Anthony Hein and their three sons Anthony, Mikey & Nicky and many more great nieces & nephews.

Pam is predeceased by her loving parents Sam and Betty Eisenberg and her parents’ in-law Ruth & Pat DeLuca. Pam spent many years as one of the top Real-Estate Agents in Middlesex County. She developed so many great relationships and created a special bond with her dear friend and partner Rupal Desai while working for Century 21-John Anthony.  Prior to becoming a Real-Estate Agent, Pam worked for Vito Mazza, Poor Billy’s and the family business Thelma’s Bakery.  

Pam’s life truly revolved around her husband, family, friends and her two dogs Sam & Jeter.   She was known to so many of her two grandson’s friends, teammates and their families as “Nani Pam” she rarely missed a game and was their biggest fan. 

If she wasn’t in the stands or bleachers, Pam would take trips to NYC visiting her son Jeff or at her home away from home with family in Long Beach Island, as well as the slot machines in Atlantic City. 

A Memorial Service to be held at Gosselin Funeral Home on Sunday November 24th, 2024, from 3pm to 5pm all to attend. There will be a private celebration of her life for immediate family.
