Pamela Lyn Miller

She was extremely versatile in all of her endeavors but always consistent in pursuing and maintaining strong friendships, her relentless drive towards betterment of herself and the world around her and her independent approach to following her dreams.

Pamela was born to Richard and Reba Miller and raised in San Diego, CA. She graduated from Crawford high school in 1971. She was heavily involved in the arts and had starring roles in many of her school's plays.

She was an incredible singer and was part of several popular bands in the San Diego area including: Showboat, Shine It On, Misfit, The Clique, Doz Chiqs n' 2 Guyz. She and her bands were well known at venues like Castaways, Park Place and The Fogcutter.

While singing was her true passion, she was also a valuable employee at Home Fed Bank and Petco for many years. After she moved to Murrieta, she became an accomplished grant writer as the Collaborative Justice Coordinator for the San Diego and Riverside Superior Courthouse .

Once she retired, she took up the teaching of pilates and other fitness classes locally and eventually built up her own pilates business where she was fondly and aptly referred to as "Pam the Punisher." If singing captured her heart then it could be said that pilates fueled her soul. She took great pride in helping people to better their lives through movement and by teaching them to connect with their own bodies she encouraged a strength of both the core and mind.

Pamela led a vegan lifestyle--her incredible health and strong bond with animals being some of her most remarkable features. She took great delight in reading and was a regular at the Wildomar Library. She was also quite fond of fixing, improving and DIY-ing her home and could often be found perusing the aisles at Home Depot, looking for a new tool for her impressive collection. On weekends, she and her daughter had dates exploring garage sales and thrift store jungles, looking for unique treasures,sharing memories and catching up on their week's adventures and the future's plans.

Pamela sadly lost her beloved brother Rod to ALS several years ago. She is survived by her sister, Jody Tobias and her only daughter, Manya Miller.

Pamela accomplished a lot in her life but she would tell you that her greatest achievement, by far, is her daughter, Manya. The bond they share is an incredible love story and much too strong to be disrupted by the fragile limitations of life. Pamela's spirit lives on in the heart of her daughter and her memory will stay strong in the lives of all who had the privilege to know her."
