Kidney failure led to the death of Pamela Eldred, who used to be Miss America. How did she spend the time she had left?
Pamela Eldred, who was Miss American in 1970, has died. Her daughter, Hilary Levey Friedman, said that she was leaving on July 12, 2022.
Eldred was the third Miss Michigan to become Miss America. She won the crown not only because she was beautiful, but also because she was smart and kind. People will miss her very much.
The reason why Pamela Eldred, a former Miss America, died
Kidney failure was said to be what killed Pamela Eldred.
It seems that because her health was getting worse, she had been in hospice care for the past week. Sad to say, she lost her fight against old age.
The woman who used to be in beauty pageants was 74 years old.
On September 6, 1969, Eldred was named Miss America. She got the title because she was a great dancer and worked hard to help people.
Eldred was an activist for people with special needs her whole life. She started this work when she was Miss America. She also started the Pam Eldred Community Health Scholarships, which help young women who want to help people with disabilities.
Pamela Eldred’s death notice says she died in her own way
The obituary for Pamela Eldred says that she was sassy, strong-willed, and stunningly beautiful. Hilary writes, “Pam’s life ended the way she lived it: on her own terms.”
Eldred went to Mercy College and graduated, even though she was a successful model for beauty pageants. She got her bachelor’s degree in speech and theater. She was also a spokesperson for the March of Dimes on a national level.
Eldred didn’t care that she was old in her last days. She liked to cook and look for jewelry.
Fans are sad that their favorite Miss America is leaving. People have written a lot of nice things about Pamela on social media.
The funeral is set to take place at Lynch and Sons on July 13, 2022. Instead of flowers, family members have been asked to give money to the Pam Eldred Community Health Scholarships.
Pamela has also asked that her body be given to the University of Michigan so that it can be used for research. She really did die like a hero.
Who is Pamela Eldred’s husband? How many kids does she have? About her family
William and Anne Eldred gave birth to Eldred on April 21, 1948. She was the youngest in her family. Her brothers, Jerome and John, were older than her.
Dr. Jules F. Levey became Pamela Eldred’s husband in 1976. Hilary, her only daughter, was born in 1980. She was the joy of her life. But the former model and Levey later split up because they had different ideas about life. She became a cosmetologist and an electrician after she and her husband broke up.
Pamela got married to Norman Robbins for the second and last time in 1998. The couple spent their retirement years in Florida, where they were happy until Robbins died in 2019.
Hilary is a sociologist who got her degree from Harvard. She has two sons whose names are Carston Friedman and Quenton Friedman. Eldred loved her grandchildren very much.
We can’t even think about what the family is going through right now. We can only love, help, and feel sorry for them. Thank you.
