Pamela D. Gilbert, 76, of Biddeford, passed away with her family by her side on Friday, May 29, 2026, at Maine Medical Center in Portland.

She was born in Portland on June 18, 1949, the only daughter of Byron L Dow and Catherine L Dow. Catherine remarried and Pamela was raised in the loving family of Kenneth G Beach and wife Catherine D Beach. Pam graduated from Deering High School, class of 1967. She went on to study at Husson College.

Pamela married her husband Marc at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Portland on September 6, 1986, with Reverend Paul Cote officiating. The couple began their lives together in Biddeford and had one son, Andrew.

Pam was employed in the healthcare industry. She worked for Maine Medical Center as a unit secretary in Portland for 22 years. Changing careers, she decided to join the family business of Maurice Gilbert & Son Plumbing and Heating as an office manager.

Pamela had great affection and love for life. She loved her family and friends and the time they spent together. She will be sadly missed.

Pam had a very creative and artistic side making jewelry from fusing dichroic glass and creating art journals that exemplified her love of life and the challenges we face. Her fused works of jewelry are being enjoyed by many today, and her art journals are cherished by those close to her.

She is survived by her husband Marc Gilbert, her son Andrew, sister Robyn Dixon and husband John and their two children Ryan and Nicole Dixon.

Visitation will be from 5-7PM Friday, July 17, 2026 with a Funeral Service at 7PM at Cote Funeral Home Chapel, Saco. To view Pam's memorial page or leave an online condolence please visit www.cotefuneralhome.com
