Pamela Rosemary Milhon

May 15, 1942 – February 15, 2024

Born in Brookman’s Park, England to Edith Annie Turner and Ronald Richard Culbert Yates.  Born the middle child; older brother Richard Laurence Yates and her younger sister whom she helped raise, Christine Yates.  Following the end of WWII, the family immigrated to Mesa, Arizona in 1946 to be near her uncle’s family, Laurie and Molly Turner.  In 1959 she married Melvyn Bruce Milhon on September 5th.  They had three children, Jennifer Ann, John Christopher and Daniel Bruce.  She devoted herself to the care of her family. 

Her hobbies included gardening, raising chickens, cows, sewing, crafting, and scratch cooking.  She was a true pioneer woman, living from the land and sharing her delights and harvests with her family and friends.  She was analytical and an excellent problem solver, not to mention an unbeatable Scrabble player.  Her notable traits were her generosity and crafting personalized gifts.  Her magic was making every day, every holiday and everyone feel special.  During their lives, Pam and Mel lived in Miami, Globe, Mesa, and Christopher Creek.  Their most recent years are back in Mesa where their journey began.
