Pamela Poteet Obituary

Pamela Pritsker Poteet, 55, of Tempe, Arizona, passed away peacefully at home on September 4, 2007 after a courageous battle with cancer. Pam moved to Tempe in 1962 and was active in the Tempe community her entire adult life; she especially enjoyed her involvement with the Kids Voting Program and the Girl Scouts. Formerly employed as a computer analyst at AiResearch, Pamela assisted many of her friends with their home computing systems. Pam was a loving wife, mother, daughter, and sister and was a special friend to all who knew her. She is survived by her husband George, her three children Kendra, Zachary and Mark, her mother Anne, and her siblings Caryl (Gary), Kenneth and Jeffrey. She was preceded in death by her father Alan. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends who will forever treasure her memory and are grateful to have had the privilege of loving her and sharing her life. The family will hold a celebration of her life at a later date.

Dear George, Kendra, Zach, and Mark,
We were so very sorry to hear about Pam. She was a very special lady; I always remember her with a smile on her face. She was always the one to step forward and give of herself to friends, neighbors, students, and everything else that is so important. She was an integral part of our neighborhood and her contributions of time and effort made our lives and our children’s lives that much better. She made a difference and she will be missed by many. Our prayers and thoughts are with your family. Love, Laurie, Rich, Marcus, April, and Heather Johnson
