A DEATH
HAS OCCURRED
May 25, 1962 – May 21, 2026
Pamela A. Garnett passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, warmth, and unforgettable memories. She was a woman who embraced the joy in every day, happiest when she was outside by the pool, listening to live music, enjoying happy hours, and—above all else—being surrounded by her deeply loved family and friends.
Pamela’s greatest joy was her family. She is survived by her devoted husband, Edward Garnett Jr.; her beloved daughters, Bridgette Nienaber and Brooke Kuehn; and her faithful dog, Lucy, who brought her endless companionship. Her bright spirit and generous heart will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Also survived by siblings Paul Nickulis IV and Patrica Burris. Pam was proceeded in death by her parents Sally Smith-Nickulis and Paul Nickulis III, and sister Linda Nickulis.

“I met two angels on February 16, 1981. They were best friends. I married one and we were together 40 years, till God decided he needed one. Now, God has decided he needed the other. They are together again, and our world is a little less bright, a little less fun, and certainly less beautiful. “I love you kid”. And, it IS a Pinto! (She knows what that means❤️❤️”.”
