This November 6th, we welcome Pam Reed Baker, a digital creator, community builder, and founder of Widows Who Wine. Pam’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and remarkable impact. Her message promises to resonate with anyone who’s ever faced adversity and asked, “What now?”

Pam launched Widows Who Wine in early 2023, just over a year after losing her husband Jon to glioblastoma. In the wake of grief, she found traditional support groups lacking the kind of connection and joy she craved. So, she built her own. What began as a small gathering of 13 women in Roswell has blossomed into a vibrant community of over 120 members. Her group offers monthly “Widows Night Out” events ranging from axe throwing to ghost tours, alongside empowering workshops like “Learning and Libations,” where members gain practical skills in finance, home maintenance, and more. Widows Who Wine is a social group connecting women of all ages and stages of widowhood through friendship and fun. While not a grief support group, they support one another through the wide array of emotions that life inevitability brings.

Pam’s leadership is deeply rooted in her earlier advocacy work with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. After both of her sons were diagnosed with CF in 2002, Pam and Jon became Georgia’s top fundraising team, eventually raising over $7 million nationally. She now chairs the CFF Leadership Council and co-founded ShamRockin’ For A Cure, a beloved Roswell-based fundraiser.

Her latest venture? A Widows Who Wine social networking app designed to help widows across the country and the world find connection, laughter, and purpose.

Pam holds a psychology degree from Eckerd College and brings decades of experience in event planning, nonprofit leadership, and community engagement. She’s also a frequent podcast guest, most recently featured on the Buried in Work podcast, where she discussed estate planning, grief recovery, and the power of peer support.

Join us on November 6 to hear Pam’s journey and learn how one woman’s vision is helping others rediscover joy after loss. Listen to Pam’s recent podcast appearance: Buried in Work – Episode 63 . All are welcome.
