Pamela Ann Pettee (Miller), age 67, of Venice passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 30, 2022 surrounded by family after battling cancer. “Pam,” a light to all, held many roles in which she excelled: wife, mother, daughter, grandmother(Mimi), sister, colleague and friend. 
She was born on the 4th of July in 1955 to Mary O. (Rinna) and Richard W. Miller in Toledo, Ohio. One of nine children, and the first girl, she always knew the value of family. On October 20th, 1979, she married her high school sweetheart, John Pettee, and they recently celebrated 43 years of marriage. They have three children: Zachary (Lindsey), Jacob (Jennifer), and Mallory as well as four grandchildren: Audrey, Micah, Colton, and Lucy. Pam is well known for her unwavering faith in Christ, her big heart, and her vibrant personality. 
She started her nursing career in 1977 at the Ruppert Pediatric clinic at the former Medical College of Ohio. She felt she was called to pediatric oncology and accepted a position at St. Vincent’s Mercy Children’s Hospital where she guided & helped families during their most trying times as a case manager. In July of 2020, she retired after 43 years in nursing and relocated to Venice, Florida. She enjoyed two amazing years of retirement with new friends in sunny Florida. Words fail to capture her beautiful spirit and the joy she brought to everyone around her.
