Bishop Oscar Solis and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City are mourning the passing of Pamela Atkinson. Atkinson was described as a remarkable person whose service impacted many Utahns through her dedication to those struggling in poverty.
Atkinson worked across various religious and political differences to assist Utahns, particularly those experiencing homelessness. She was a longtime supporter of Catholic Community Services of Utah and served as the Master of Ceremonies for the CCS Humanitarian Awards Dinner for many years.
In Salt Lake City, Atkinson was involved with the Bishop Weigand Resource Center, where she helped address both the spiritual and corporal needs of individuals seeking assistance.
Bishop Solis stated that Atkinson left a legacy of caring and compassion, suggesting that her care for the least among us should be honored and continued.
