Pamela Lynne Malott
The world has lost one of its brightest and warmest lights. Pamela Lynne “Pam” Malott (nee Setterington) passed away in the early hours of Friday, January 21, 2022 after a long illness. To those who loved her, Pam’s absence is a wound that will never truly heal, because her presence always uplifted and enriched the people she cared about. Pam was born in Leamington, Ontario, on August 11, 1961. With her mother Norma (née Kolibaba) and father Derrick Tassey working to support the family, Pam spent much of her youth caring for her siblings Wendy (Montie), Drew (Sharon) and Christopher (Loyce), and all three fondly remember their big sister as a fierce (if sometimes mischievous) protector. Also fondly remembered by her stepsister Kerry Steptoe (Gerald). Pam gave birth to her only child, Matthew Keith Malott, on July 30, 1983. She was an incredibly devoted mother and would prioritize supporting and nurturing her son for the rest of her life, helping him become the first member of the family to go to law school in 2013. In 1997, Pam met Richard Philip, who would remain her spouse and cherished confidant until her death. With little more than sharp organizational skills and an unyielding work ethic, Pam began working for the Town of Leamington as an administrative clerk in the early ’80s. While working and caring for young Matthew, she put herself through night school, becoming an expert in municipal Pam eventually distinguished Prooftaxation. of obituary to run herself as the Chief Administrative Officer of the Town of Amherstberg, with the Libro Centre Arena being planned, built, and openedFebruary under her leadership. 2, 2022 Despite her demanding career, the centre of Pam’s Southpoint Sun or otherwise).

To Christopher’s son Alexander, she was the most affectionate and loving aunt. To her best friend Csop, a lifelong compatriot and kindred spirit. To her beloved cockapoo Holly, a most caring and unshakeable mummy. To her grand-kitten Winston, the source of the world’s finest afternoon cuddles. Pam was an irreplaceable and unique woman, and the legacy she leaves behind is one of unrelenting care, of zealous determination, and of a deep-seated loyalty to her friends and family.
