Obituaries

Of Chelsea, Michigan, age 70, passed away peacefully at her home from cancer on Saturday, December 10, 2022. She was born November 5, 1952, in Huntington, West Virginia, the daughter of the late Ira Findley & Mary Ruth (Perdue) Graham.

Pam had a love of sewing, quilting, and nature. She loved the birds at her feeders and got a big kick out of any animal she saw. She was a keen observer of their behavior and often found the humor in them. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Chelsea. She will be remembered for her kindness, love, and example of compassion. We will miss her but are comforted to know she is with our Heavenly Father.

Pam was supported in her life and her cancer journey by a loving family and dear friends. It is a difficult journey to travel but good friends and family made it possible to travel with dignity, grace, humor, and acceptance. Near the end of her life, she was no longer able to keep up with her life-long passion of sewing. Her close friends finished her final projects for her so she could gift them to her grandchildren. Pam had excellent taste in friends.

Pam is survived by her loving husband of 31 years, Stephen Williams; a sister, Peggy (Charlie) Burgess; two daughters, Debbie (Shawn) Powell, Danielle (Carl) Chatterton; two sons, Stephen (Susie) Boreing, Mason Rickmers; and grandchildren, Kimberly, Kelly, Janessa, Landyn, Nathan, Katelyn, Jaelyn, Carson, Ty, Ethan, and Khloie.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 17, 11:00 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 1330 N. Freer Rd., Chelsea, Michigan with Dr. Garn Smith presiding. Burial will follow at Oak Grove East Cemetery, Chelsea. The family will receive friends Friday, December 16, at Cole Funeral Chapel from 4:00-7:00 p.m. and the church Saturday, from 10:00-11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Faith in Action, Arbor Hospice, or Food Gatherers.
