Pamela Rocheleau, fondly known as Pam, passed away peacefully on July 6, 2025, in Riverview, Michigan, at the age of 77. Born on June 1, 1948, in Highland Park, Michigan, Pam brought warmth and joy to all who knew her.

Pam had a deep love for reading, often finding solace and adventure within the pages of her favorite books. She cherished the simple pleasure of a good cup of coffee, which she enjoyed while spending treasured time with her dear friends. Her curiosity and interest in computers kept her engaged with the ever-evolving world of technology. Above all, Pam had a special place in her heart for dogs, whose loyalty and companionship she valued greatly.

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Virgil and Lucille Fletcher; her devoted spouse of 13 years, Joe Rocheleau; and her siblings, Basil Fletcher, Monty Fletcher, and Terri Liponoga.

Pam is survived by her cherished siblings: Penny (Ed) Wright, Colleen (Mike) Weening, and Tracy (Craig) Cradle. Pam will also be dearly missed by her step-children: Laura (Gary) Banfield, Dawn Mackie, Michele (Terry) Kelly, Jerry (Beth) Rocheleau, Jane (Tim) Hagan, and many nieces, nephews, great nieces, and nephews.

Her closest friends, Diane and Carol, will forever remember the joyous moments shared and the bonds of friendship that Pam so earnestly cultivated.

Pam's gentle spirit, love for life, and dedication to those she loved will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
