Pamela A. Manak of Waukesha passed away on Friday, April 25, 2025 at her home. Pam was born on September 17, 1957, the beloved daughter of the late Carl and June (nee Schock) Manak. She was a graduate of UW-Whitewater with an accounting degree and of UW-Madison with a landscape architecture degree and worked as a landscape architect for Country Wetlands. Pam was an avid dog lover and along with her Australian shepherds, Tag and Spark, was active in search and rescue training, an activity that she immensely enjoyed.
Pam is survived by her beloved brother Bob (Heidi) Manak of Pewaukee, nieces Colleen Manak (Rob MacKenzie) of Brookfield, Valerie Manak (Kevin Kincheloe) of Alexandria, VA, and great nephews Callum and Maxwell MacKenzie. She is further survived by cousin Tom Manak of Glen Ellyn, IL and longtime friend John Graf of Milwaukee. The family also wishes to acknowledge and thank Pam’s home care helper, Becky and her dog Minnie, who lovingly provided Pam with friendship and help in her home since January.
