GALESBURG - Pamela Sue Petty, 63, Galesburg, died at 9:20 a.m. Friday, April 13, 2018, at her son's home in Abingdon.

Pam was born Nov. 19, 1954, the daughter of Loren Everett and Evelyn Jean (Uhren) Petty.

Pam loved to work. She worked at St. Mary's Square for 38 years and then worked for the Kensington until her retirement in 2015. She loved the residents and her co-workers at St. Mary's Square; they were her second family. She enjoyed watching television, especially "General Hospital," "Wheel of Fortune" and "Family Feud." She also enjoyed the sunshine, being outdoors and walking. But most of all she loved her family and will be remembered for her loving care and stubbornness.

Cremation rites have been accorded. A memorial visitation will be 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, April 27, 2018, at Watson-Thomas Funeral Home and Crematory in Galesburg. No funeral service is planned.
