Pamela M. Pletcher

Pamela “Pam” M. Pletcher, of Syracuse, peacefully passed away on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at Waterford Crossing at the age of 74. Born on May 26, 1949, in Chicago, IL, she was the daughter of Henry and Esther May (Harris) Veer. On November 29, 1969, Pam married Gary Pletcher, and together they raised two daughters. 

Throughout her life, Pam dedicated herself to the field of education. She earned her master’s degree in Elementary Education from IU Fort Wayne. She served as an English teacher at Wawasee High School from 1979 until her retirement in 2011 and was also employed at International Student Exchange, where she housed and supervised foreign exchange students. Pam's passion for nurturing young minds left a lasting impact on many people over her 40 year teaching career.

Known for her hospitality, Pam was held in high regard by those who knew her and made new friends everywhere she went. She was deeply involved in Wawasee High School activities, a long-standing sponsor of Key Club, and a proud member of Kiwanis. In her leisure time, she found joy in cooking delicious meals and spending time outdoors near the lake or tending to her flowers. Additionally, Pam had a love for travel, and her adventurous spirit led her to explore various countries around the world. She especially loved visiting her former exchange daughters and meeting their families. 

In addition to Gary, her husband of 54 years, Pam is also survived by her daughters, Taia Wagoner and Bria Zolman; grandchildren Micah Wagoner, Amaya Zolman, Josiah Wagoner, Cohen Zolman, and Starla Wagoner; as well as her brother Kirk Veer; sister Malina (Patrick) Kleepbua; nephew Chase Kleepbua. She was preceded in death by her parents and son-in-law Peter Wagoner.
