Pamela A. (Beamer) Rauh

PRINCETON – Pamela A. (Beamer) Rauh passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family. She was Born on March 9, 1952, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late Paul W. Beamer and Sara J. (Kalbfus) Beamer.

In 1985, Pam married the love of her life, William T. Rauh. Together, they built a beautiful life in Princeton, where they raised their family and became beloved members of the community.

In addition to her husband, Pam is survived by her children, Nathan Brown and his partner, Stacy Molinari, of Princeton; Elizabeth Brown and her husband, Clark Colon, of Waterbury, Vermont; and Michael Brown and his wife, Caroline Ma, of Harvard; her three beloved grandchildren, Max Brown, Levi and Claire Colon; her brother, Michael Beamer, of Maine; her sister, Nina Holton, of Worcester; as well as several nieces and nephews. Besides her parents, Pam was predeceased by her brother, John Beamer.

Pam was a proud graduate of Wachusett Regional High School and later attended Boston College before completing her nursing training at Memorial Hospital in Worcester. She devoted her career to caring for others, working as a registered nurse in the emergency and surgical departments at Memorial Hospital and later in the emergency department at Holden Hospital until its closure. She continued her commitment to helping others as a substitute school nurse in the Wachusett School District, always bringing compassion and steadiness to those in her care.

After retiring, Pam gave generously of her time as a volunteer at Abby’s House and spent many joyful days helping at the Blue Plate Farm Stand—where her family often joked that she was “paid in plants.” Her kindness, humor, and gentle spirit left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

At home, Pam’s love of gardening was evident in her spectacular flower beds, which she tended with both skill and joy. She carried that same passion to Hancock, Vermont, where she and Bill owned a retirement home and cherished the quiet beauty of the mountains together.

Pam also loved to travel, and Maui, Hawaii was her favorite place—a source of warmth, beauty, and peace.

Pam will be lovingly remembered by her family in private. Miles Funeral Home of Holden is entrusted with her care. In lieu of flowers, donations in Pam’s memory may be made to the American Nurses Association by visiting nursingworld.org/foundation.

Dr. Sunita Gulati

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Sunita Gulati, Professor Emerita at UMass Chan Medical School, who died unexpectedly on December 6, 2025, at the age of 74.

She is survived by her husband, Nerendra Batra. She leaves behind three sisters and three brothers; Sushma Mehra, Dr. Susan Prakash, Smita Gulati, Sunil Gulati, Sanjeev Gulati, and Dr. Melvin Gulati. She also leaves behind her sisters-in-law, Sarah and Rupa, as well as her many nieces and nephews and their children, whom she adored deeply.

Born in Mandalay, Burma, Sunita grew up surrounded by a large and close-knit family. Her early years were marked by time spent assisting her uncle, a physician, an influence that sparked a lifelong curiosity in science and a devotion to service. Later she moved from Mandalay to Massachusetts to live with her brother, Suresh Gulati, his wife Sarah and their 4 children. She developed a close and lasting bond with her new extended family. In later years, Sunita helped her brother Melvin immigrate to the United States, creating a new relationship with him and his wife Rupa.

Sunita earned her Doctor of Science degree from the Boston University School of Public Health, after which she joined the BU faculty. There, she became foundational to the development of a dynamic and collaborative laboratory group led by Dr. Peter Rice, later joined by colleagues Dr. Sanjay Ram, Dr. Jutamas Shaughnessy, and many others. When the lab moved to UMass Chan in 2005, Sunita continued to be its steady center—an accomplished scientist, a generous mentor, and a beloved colleague. Her dedication to her research and her students shaped the careers of countless scientists who carry her influence forward.

Beyond her professional life, Sunita embraced life fully. She loved to travel, finding joy in exploring new places and cultures. She was also an avid cook and devoted gardener, cultivating trees and plants with the same patience, care, and attentiveness she brought to her work and relationships. Each year, she delighted in delivering bushels of freshly grown fruit from her garden to family and friends and neighbors, a tradition that reflected her generosity and love. She will be remembered for her warmth, her dedication to work and family, her love of travel, and her unwavering generosity of spirit.

Her legacy lives on in the science she helped build, the people she mentored, and the family she loved so dearly.

A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Sunday, December 14 at the Miles Funeral Home, 1158 Main Street, Holden. www.milesfuneralhome.com
