Pam Norris Obituary

Pamela "Pam" Marie (Probst) Norris, age 68, died Friday, November 28, 2025, at Essentia Health in Duluth.

Pam was born on February 27, 1957, to Ed and Janet Probst in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, where she grew up. She graduated from Grand Rapids High School in 1975. She then moved to New Mexico, where she resided for close to 20 years. Upon returning to Minnesota, she found employment at Grand Portage Casino, an experience she greatly enjoyed, along with her many friends and the beauty of Lake Superior.

Pam was happiest spending time with her pet companions over the years and sharing time and stories with friends. She was a good friend to many, maintaining close relationships throughout her life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ed and Janet Probst, and her younger sister, Kim. Pam will be deeply missed by her sisters, Denise (James) Martin of Osceola, WI, and Jody (James) Dowell of Livingston, MT; her four nieces and one nephew; and her ten great-nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
