Pamela Marie, the daughter of William "Bill" and Sandra (Duncan) FitzSimmons, was born on February 6, 1960 in Waseca. She attended Sacred Heart and graduated with the class of 1978. Following high school, Pamela pursued a degree in Accounting at MSU Mankato, graduating with the class of 1982. In November of 1982, she was united in marriage to Steve Miller at the Church of the Sacred Heart and were blessed with three beautiful daughters who were the light of her life, Ginette, Christina, and Jacquelyn. They later divorced.

Pam's love of numbers and accounting lead her to a career at MGC and also at her dad's tax service. She truly cherished the time spent working with her dad for many years. Before her illness, Pam filled her active life with running, skiing, traveling, baking, shopping, and attending almost every event her daughters participated in. Her love of the Lord shined through all that knew her. She always enjoyed participating in bible study and never missed an opportunity to worship at church.

She would like to be remembered by her favorite bible verse, Philippians 6: 6-8, "Do not worry about anything, but in everything give prayer."

Pam is survived by her three daughters, Ginette (Joseph) Koeck of Seminole, FL, Christina Miller of Mankato and Jacqui Miller of Mankato; her parents Bill and Sandy FitzSimmons of Waseca; her siblings, Stephen (Kristy) FitzSimmons of Olympia, WA and Jane (Rick) Thomez of Waseca; her many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.

Pam was preceded in death by her grandparents.
