Sister of Christopher Alexander "Andy" Fleming, stepfamily Susan Birkenshaw and Michael Keith, David Birkenshaw, and Douglas Birkenshaw. Beloved sister-in-law of Bill Rowcliffe and Kevin McManus, Peter and Marta Rowcliffe, Kathy and Ken Peel, Jean Alice Rowcliffe, loved by her many cousins, Munro, McKay, Tinker, Peterson, Spears, and Aunt Pammy to so many. Pam spent her early years on 4th Avenue in Owen Sound attending Hillcrest and visiting her poppa G.D. Fleming every day after class. She then attended BSS in Toronto. A trained Montessori teacher, encouraging young minds was her passion, that, and her love of nature and wildlife. "Feed the Birds" was her theme song. Pam volunteered for many organizations, Volunteer Coordinator, and trainer at GBRHC for many years, YMCA board, the Owen Sound Skating Club board and on the board of the Owen Sound Children's Chorus. She travelled the world and made the most of every moment. Emily and Mac were the loves of her life and she supported all their adventures cheering from the bleachers. They also inherited her love of theatre, art and music. Her kindness and generosity were appreciated by so many, and her dinner parties were amazing, wonderful, and memorable events. She loved decorating for each season, especially Christmas, that could have been featured in any magazine. Family times at Leith will never be the same but she will be part of our best memories and every sunset will hold her smiling face. Her family would like to thank the ICU staff at GBRHC in Owen Sound for their care and support. There will be a family celebration of life in the spring. Interment in Leith Cemetery. Arrangements are entrusted to the Brian E. Wood Funeral Home, 250 14th Street West, Owen Sound, Ontario, N4K 3X8, (519) 376-7492.

Our noon, our midnight our talk and song We thought that love would last forever, but we were wrong."
