PAMELA ELAINE TAULBEE

Pamela was born on Dec. 5, 1951, to the late Alvis and Reva (Neely) Taulbee in Northville, Michigan. She was a proud graduate of South Lyon High School and later moved “up north” to the Hillman-Alpena area. She was an active long-time member of the Alpena Church of Christ, involved with Northeast Michigan Community Mental Health, and a member of Alcoholics Anonymous for over 35 years. Pamela enjoyed reading, painting, drawing, talking on the phone, and thoroughly enjoyed board games. She loved to spend time with her family and being a sister, or “sissy” as she was known to her siblings. As of recently, she learned about Facebook and participated in group chats which she became highly active in. There were many things in life that Pamela enjoyed doing, but what really brought her joy and happiness was spending time with her grandchildren. Pamela was by definition a “people person,” it has been said that “she never met a stranger.” She was genuinely interested in everyone and hearing what they had to say. When Pamela was truly happy, she radiated genuine joy, which was frequented with a good conversation.

Pamela is survived by her daughter, Michelle (Paul) Dhruvan of Alpena, four grandchildren, Kyle Timm of Ferndale, Liam Kelly of Alpena, Orin Dhruvan of Lake Orion, and Quinn Kelly of Alpena, a sister, Sandra (Joe) Purol of Alpena, two brothers, William (Margie) Taulbee and David (Marcella) Taulbee both of South Lyon, and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Ray and Douglas Taulbee, and two infant brothers.

A memorial service will take place outdoors at 918 South State Avenue Alpena, Michigan, 49707 on Saturday June 19, 2021, at 12:30 P.M. with the Rev. Chuck Anderson officiating followed by a time of sharing memories and visiting until 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial contributions be made to Northeast Michigan Community Mental Health.
