Pamela Barber-Steele, 67, of LaPorte, died Monday, Nov. 3, 2014, at IU Health LaPorte Hospital.
She was born March 8, 1947, in Marshall, MI, to Floyd M. and Eleanor M. (Roe) Withee.
Pam graduated from LaPorte High School in 1965 and later from Purdue University.

She enjoyed playing golf and tennis and was a former city tennis champion. Pam was a realtor at MTM Realty and had been selling real estate locally for over 20 years. Most importantly, she was an amazing Nana to her “three perfect grandchildren” (as she would always say).
On Nov. 11, 1997, she married David Steele, who survives.
Also surviving are her beloved daughter, Julie (Troy) Stroud of LaPorte; three grandchildren, Michael Allen of Indianapolis and Molly and Drew Kubaszyk, both of LaPorte; and two brothers, Thomas Withee of The Villages, FL, and Dan Withee of LaPorte.
She was preceded in death by her parents and one brother, James Withee, who was killed in Vietnam on July 4, 1969.
