Pamela "Pam" Dillon (née Wills) died on Monday, June 7 in Saint Louis at the age of 71 following a battle with lung cancer.

Pam is survived by husband, Robert; children, Wendy and Robert; grandchildren, Ellie, Emily, Olivia, Grace and Noah as well as her four siblings. She is preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Lorraine Wills.

Pam was born on May 4, 1950 in Saint Louis, Missouri. She graduated from Ritenour High School in 1968. She married Bob in 1971 and had remained married for 49 years. She retired from Boeing in 2015 after 20 plus years of service.  The couple welcomed two children into their home and set about teaching them about the value of hard work, caring for others and how to contribute to the community.

Pam was a valued friend to many life-long friends. She loved the opportunity to gather with friends for food and conversation about family. Pam served as a coach for youth sports and a Girl Scout leader. Her faith was important to her, and she supported her church throughout her lifetime.

A celebration of life evening is scheduled for June 21 at Colliers Funeral Home from 4-8 p.m. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Pam's life. The family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers during this time.
