Pamela BLEE Obituary

Dear Sam and Isabella, Heartbroken to hear the sad news of your beautiful Mum. She was such a rare diamond. We were great pals in San Francisco in the 90's and early 2000's. I used to call her 'Polly' and tell her to 'put the kettle on' each time we chatted (usually for hours) together or on the phone, we had so much fun together, so many great memories, wild, bonkers and kind, she had the biggest heart..she was so funny, I will always remember her crazy beautiful way.. She always wanted to come to Ireland, she just loved the craic. With our busy lives with kids on both sides of the world it never happened, maybe some day you guys will, you are truly so welcome in our home here in west cork if ever you do. Your Mum was so proud of you both, I do hope we get to meet you some day, Sue, Jonny (and kids Stella Jake and Beau)

A great friend from such a long time ago .
I'm very sorry for your loss Sam and Isabella

Rest now Pam

Condolences to Pam´s children Isabella & Sam & family at this sad time. may she rest in peace.. I met Pam a few times in San Francisco years ago when I was living there with her friend Christina from Galway,Ireland & it was a pleasure to have known her.. xx

Dear Sam and Isabella, I am so sorry for the loss of your lovely mom. She was the most courageous person I ever knew. She loved you both more than anything and was always so proud of you both. Thinking of you both and sending lots of love. Rest in peace lovely Pam.

So saddened to hear of Pam's passing. Sincere condolences to Matt, Sam and Isabella. RIP

Pam was a good friend whom I met during her time in San Francisco. I enjoyed spending time with her on hikes with the Cub Scouts and long chats after school drop off. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was always joyful to be around. Sending heartfelt condolences to her family, especially Sam and Isabella.

I´m so sorry for your loss Matt Isabella and Sam. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Sending love and hugs at this very difficult time

To Isabella & Sam, thankyou to your Mum Pam for letting us get to know & see you when you came back to live in NZ, only for a short time to spend with Pam but she will be in our hearts always, love from Les, Kate & James Bennett, Nelson.

I was so very sad to hear this news. I knew Pam from my time in San Francisco. A true gem. Her joy was infectious. Rest in peace. Jean

I was lucky to know Pam in San Francisco. She was an amazing friend and I will miss her. She had an unmistakable presence and fun spirit. She was truly one of a kind. Isabella and Sam, I am truly sorry for the loss of your beautiful mum, you were her everything. Rest well my friend. Love always Christina

RIP Pam. You were always the center of every party here in San Francisco. All your friends here have been, and will continue to think about you. Best wishes. Brian.

Pamela is my sister-by-heart. We shared over 30 years of life, laughter, and tears. We traveled the world, trekked the Himalayas, and went to more concerts than I can count. From India to Zion, memories of our travels will be one of my life's greatest gifts. Whether we were getting lost in a new city or talking about everything and everyone over a bottle of wine, she was my constant.

Pamela will always be the kindest, funniest, and most generous soul I have known. As a Pediatric ICU nurse for decades, she held the lives of children in her hands with such grace and love, a true testament to her nurturing spirit. We shared many a night shift in the ICU keeping each other awake, making each other laugh, and sometimes crying in each other´s arms.

I will never forget our obsession with The Verve-or how we managed to get backstage!- She lived life fully, embracing every moment with laughter and strength. The world seems a little quieter now without Pam´s laughter, but I will carry it with me forever.

Isabella and Sam, you were her entire world. Your mother cherished you more than anything on this earth. She loved being your mother, and she was so proud of who you are becoming. Mark, Alex, Gabrielle and I love you both very much.

I can´t say goodbye, my friend. I´ll just say until our next great adventure.

Rest easy, Pam. I love you.

Always, Collette
or as Pam would say Colleeete

I was so sad to read about Pam's death. I taught Pam many years ago and had contact with her intermittently when she lived in San Francisco. Pam had a beautiful personality that filled spaces with joy, humour, vibrance and colour. I will think of her fondly, always, and I am so saddened by her death. Thinking of Pam's family, the School of Nursing at SIT who have lost a valued colleague and thinking of Pam's friends at this time.

Rest in Peace beautiful Pam, such great memories of you from San Francisco and our wedding in Hawaii. She was just an amazing soul! Love Yvonne, Peter, Oisin, Aoibhin and Aimee xx

I was saddened to hear this news and it´s hard to believe you´re not here.
Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
Rest peacefully Pam.
Cousin Daryl

Pam was a great friend of mine from the San Francisco chapter of her amazing life. She organized an orientation at the hospital which helped me get my nursing job. She played a part in organizing the Christening of our daughter at Mission Dolores,SF. She wore her heart on her sleeve. She was never afraid to sing loudly and dance dramatically and used the line I'm a nurse to get whatever she needed and we loved her for it all. Mrs. You left us far too soon . Isabella and Sam you were her greatest gift ever. Sending love to you all always. Maria, Malcolm and Molly Belle your flower girl. Xxx

Rest in peace lovely Pam . May your laugh and spirit be heard & felt everywhere . Sam & Isabela may you know how much joy your mom brought to so many .Pam will be truly missed , so sorry for your loss .
Love Rosie ,Cork Ireland , formerly San Francisco

I was deeply saddened to hear of Pam´s passing. I had the privilege of working with her at SIT when she returnedto NZ. During that time her innovation, dedication, and unwavering commitment to doing a fantastic job were a constant source of light. Pam brought energy, creativity, and heart into everything she did, and her influence on students, colleagues, and the wider nursing community was profound.

While she is no longer with us physically, her impact on nursing education will continue to be felt for many years to come. She leaves behind a legacy of excellence, compassion, and courage.

My heartfelt condolences go to Sam, Isabella, and all who loved her.

Nga mihi aroha,
Johanna Rhodes

You made me laugh and were as much my friend as my cousin... gone too soon x

A valued, beautiful caring lady from the Comprehensive Nursing class 1989-1991. Fond memories. Rest peacefully Pam.

The SIT School of Nursing mourns the loss of our respected colleague, friend, and mentor, Pam. A dedicated and compassionate nurse and educator, Pam made an extraordinary contribution to nursing and to the development of future nurses. Her caring, positive, and empathetic approach inspired and empowered countless students, leaving a legacy that will endure for years to come. Our deepest condolences go to her beautiful children, Sam and Isabella, and to her wider friends and whānau.
