Pamela Wu Obituary

Wu, Pamela (Nee White) Pamela, after fighting her illnesses courageously, passed away on January 4, 2019. She was born in Washington, Pa, on March 16, 1945, to Robert McKinney White II and Anna Jean (Kelly) White. She married Chyan Wu of Wauwatosa in 1980. She's survived by her husband, sisters Jane Henricks (Todd) of Illinois and Jackie Slosnerick (Stephen) of Ohio, and many nieces, nephews, cousins. She spent one year studying in Glasgow, Scotland, before graduating from Allegheny College in Pennsylvania. She earned her MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She began her career in retail at Higbee's in Cleveland, OH and then at Manchester's in Madison, WI. She later worked at MRA, Brookfield, and as a Certified Employee Benefits Specialist for the International Foundation of CEBS also in Brookfield, WI. She was active in community affairs acting as past president of the United Ostomy Association, Milwaukee chapter and later serving on the Chicago region and national levels. Extremely proud of her Welsh heritage, Pam was past president and vice president-elect of the Welsh Club-Milwaukee. Her wide range of interests included worldwide travel, book reading, symphony music and her Cambridge Glass collection. Her optimism, quick-wit, grace, and generosity will be missed by many. Visitation hours will be held on Saturday, January 19, 2019, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. with a memorial service directly after at Schmidt and Bartelt Funeral Home in Wauwatosa. A reception will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Froedtert Foundation, as the family appreciates the exceptional care from the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit

Aunt Pam was a wonderful woman! She was full of love and vitality even in the midst of her difficult medical battles. We will miss her encouraging words and loving thoughtfulness. We know that she is now in a place of beauty beyond words and free of her physical suffering. We look forward to being reunited with her one day!

I worked with Pam in the mid-70's when she was a Buyer at T.A. Chapmans and our paths crossed many times during her tenure at MRA and Employee Benefit Foundation. She was smart and well respected all during her career. What a remarkable lady that extended friendship and fun to those who were lucky enough to know her. Condolences to the family she so loved.

It is so sad when a good friend leaves too early. When I think of her, I think of Pam's good nature, her lively mind, her love of travel, her interest in the world. I regret that I cannot be present for the memorial service in person, yet I will take Pam's memory with me where I go.

I am so sorry to hear of the sad loss of my friend Pam. While I lived far away from her, I enjoyed visits with her and times we were able to enjoy each others company on trips and by phone. I will miss her pleasant manner and humor. May the angels greet her and the saints welcome her into paradise. Fond memories, my friend.
