Pamela Kay Dibert

Pamela Kay Dibert passed away on Dec. 2, 2025, following a long fight with cancer.
Pam, born Feb. 7, 1947 in Alma, was the daughter of the late Lowell and Margaret Dibert. As the daughter of a career Air Force pilot, Pam lived in many places throughout the world, graduated from high school in Sumter, S.C., and followed her sister to Michigan State University for college. 
The sisters played tennis together on the MSU Women's tennis team in the mid 1960s, and were finally recognized by the university decades later in 2002 with an MSU varsity letter.
Pam was a career social worker for the State of Michigan and finally settled in East Tawas, where her parents lived. She coached girls JV and Varsity high school basketball in her spare time and found her true love in coaching.
She enjoyed doing handyman jobs for her friends and neighbors. It was always a "10 minute" job that sometimes took weeks!
Pam was also involved with the Tawas Bay Players Community Theater. Pam preferred being behind-the-scenes doing whatever needed to be done. She always had at least one dog and one cat but most times more than one.
Upon her retirement, she and her sister attended many Women's Final Four basketball tournaments all over the US. Pam enjoyed fishing, barbecue chicken and especially Michigan Koegel hotdogs on the grill! In the winter, she loved getting down to the beach in Gulf Shores, Ala., In 2019, she bought her winter home in Alabama and it was there that she spent the last months of her life. 
Pam is survived by her sister, Janice Hulgan (Ben) of Guntersville, Ala.; her brother, Scott Dibert (Lise) of Bath; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sister, Patricia Richards.
