Pamela Trinckes

Pamela “Pam” Trinckes, age 75, of Hubbard, OH, died Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at home surrounded by her loving family.

Mrs. Trinckes was born in Grove City, PA, on March 20, 1951, and was the daughter of Maude Reddinger and Ray Stull. She was a graduate of Grove City High School, class of 1969.

She was a homemaker and for many years loved sewing and quilting. But most of all, she was a loving “GiGi “to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She especially treasured the time spent with Astaria and MacKenzie, and the memories they created that brought meaning and joy to her life.

Pam had various jobs over the years, but late in life she found the job she enjoyed most: working in the cafeteria at West Hill Elementary School in Sharon, PA. She often said how much she missed the students and staff, and especially her coworkers in the cafeteria.

She is survived by her husband, Vince Trinckes, whom she married on December 18, 1982; a son, John Smolnik and his wife, Krista, of Fairport, NY; a daughter, Karen Smolnik, and Cris Dickson, of Sharon, PA; a stepson, Brian Trinckes and his wife, Tracy, of Hubbard, OH; a brother, Bob Reddinger, of Willow Spring, NC; eight grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Pam was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Bill Reddinger; and two sisters, Loretta Miller and Barbara J. Sowers.
