Pamela J. Valentino 1954-2026

Pamela was born Feb. 15, 1954, in Warren, a daughter of William Crawford and Mary “Betty” Davey. She was a proud graduate of Warren Western Reserve High School.

Throughout her life, Pamela built a diverse and accomplished career. She worked for many years at DDA Telemarketing before becoming a bail bondsman and bounty hunter with Ace and Napolet Bail Bonding. She later served as a paralegal for attorneys John Gargano, Toni Marchaski and Anthony Antanucci.

Dedicated to helping others, Pamela volunteered with the American Red Cross and served as a rape crisis advocate, providing support and compassion to those in need. She was known for her generous spirit, unwavering kindness and willingness to help anyone who crossed her path.

Pamela enjoyed bowling and participated in numerous leagues throughout Ohio. She also loved playing bingo, traveling and, above all, spending time with her family. She rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on her grandchildren at their sporting events and other activities.

Her home was always open to family, friends and anyone in need of a warm meal or a welcoming place to gather. Because of her caring nature and open-door policy, many children lovingly considered her a second mother.

Pamela leaves behind her beloved children, Jason Washington, Katrina Washington, Gina Washington, Alexis Valentino and Mike (Vanessa) Kuntz; 12 cherished grandchildren; and her brothers, William “Skip” Crawford, Tom Crawford, Gary Kompanik, Mike Kompanik, Tim Kompanik and Donald Glenn.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Charles Crawford; and her aunt, Louise Hunt.
