MOUNT PLEASANT – Pamela G. Cremer (nee Benzow), 78, passed away peacefully at home Wednesday afternoon, January 1, 2025, surrounded by the love and comfort of her family.
Pam was born in Racine on November 6, 1946, the daughter of the late Roland and Genevieve (nee Shumaker) Benzow. She graduated from St. Catherine’s High School, class of 1964.
After high school, Pam attended the Accredited School of Cosmetology. Upon graduation, she worked for various salons in Racine. She also worked in engineering departments, credit unions, and as a parish secretary. Pam also volunteered to rock infants at Ascension Day Care.
On November 12, 1966, she married the love of her life and kindred spirit, James Cremer, at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church and they shared 58 beautiful years together. They raised four children, David, Candace, Mary Kay, and Anne Marie.
Pam was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She loved spending time with family and friends and tending to her flower and vegetable gardens. In her spare time, she enjoyed traveling to the Caribbean Islands, the Grand Canyon, South Carolina, the Holy Land, and several mystery trips to unknown destinations. Pam will be remembered fondly for her sparkling eyes, bright smile, and warm hugs.
Pam will be dearly missed by her loving husband, Jim; her children, David (Lori) Cremer, Candace (Goran) Radojevic, Mary Kay (Kevin) Herness, and Anne Marie (Joe) Spaulding; 13 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren; her siblings, Glenna (Ron) Ensweiler, Paula (Herb) Meyer, Holly (Phil) Pitther, Roland (Tami) Benzow, Sue Dumovich, Kelly (Leif) Haugland, and Jim Benzow; brother-in-law and sisters-in-law, Darryl (Diane Steiner) Cremer, Carol (George) Miller, and Donna Benzow; as well as many dear nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Pam was preceded in death by her grandson, Mitchell Cremer; her brother, John Benzow; her brother-in-law, Bill Dumovich; and sister-in-law, Jane Cremer.

I have fond memories of Pam when she was parish secretary at Holy Name and I was teaching at the school. What a beautiful lady, inside and out. Blessings to your entire family as you navigate the next difficult days. Her strong faith can help ease the pain, but also leave you with many great memories. Rest in peace, Pam. Another Angel in heaven.😇🙏🏽

Pam will be fondly remembered as our baby sitter & family friend. She also worked for my parents in their local grocery store. She looks so much like her mom with her beautiful smile.

Pam was so much fun. We had fun being Scout leaders together and working on many committees together at Holy Name School. She will be missed. Rest in peace Pam.
