NEW CANAAN, CONN. — On September 6, Pamela Jay Martine quietly drew her last breath, and her difficult struggle with Alzheimer’s disease was finally over. She died at home in New Canaan with her husband Gene. Pam’s love of beautiful things led her to the world of antiques and eventually to become an antiques dealer. For many years, Pam sold at shows in New England, New York and Pennsylvania. Her signature booths were identifiable as hers by their subtle colors, spare elegance and meticulous design. Her eye for beautiful things, while informed by many, was natural and uniquely her own. Pam spent the last five and a half decades living life alongside her husband and best friend, Gene. Pam also leaves her brother Kim Rynier Prall; her niece, Pamela Prall Fontaine; and her niece’s three children. Born July 18, 1946, Pam’s parents were Robert Claude Prall and Jacqueline Brown Prall of Greenwich, Conn. She was predeceased by her brothers Robert Prall and Lucian Prall, and her nephew James Prall. In her final years, Pam was cared for by loving people from the Elayne and James Schoke Jewish Family Service of Fairfield County and Waveny LifeCare Network/Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County.
