September 21, 1954 - February 2, 2025
After spending Friday surrounded by her granddaughters, Mom unexpectedly left us on February 2nd, 2025 at our home in San Mateo where she had lived for almost 40 years and raised four children. She was a strong woman and a two-time Breast Cancer survivor.
Mom was born in Muskegon, MI on September 21st, 1954. She grew up in Burbank, CA and graduated from Burbank High in 1972. Adored by all who knew her, she was Head Cheerleader, Pep Squad Leader and Homecoming Royalty. Mom moved to the Bay Area in the late 1970s and has lived here ever since.
She was preceded in death by her father Robert Grueter, her mother Hilda Grueter (nee Pohl), brother Corby Grueter and brother Robert Grueter. She is survived by her brother Barry Grueter (Carmela) and niece Lindsay Gruschow of Senoia, GA (brother Corby's daughter).
Mom now awaits her husband of 42 years Steve, sons Dominic, Scott (Heather), Danny (Kryssa), and daughter Felicia (Kevin).
She raised four active kids, carting them between school, sports and appointments all while working at United Airlines. Probably every kid from elementary school to high school rode in, or recognized our big green van known as "Pam's Van".
Mom has four grandchildren whom she showered with love, affection and treats: Kamila (7), Sawyer (7), Kamden (5), and Kambelle (3). Oma, as she was known to her grandkids, was the best grandma a kid could ask for. She will be greatly missed and leaves a void that will never be truly filled. She will surround them with precious memories and remain in their hearts.
After we were grown, Mom was the quintessential animal lover and lived every day for her dogs. Most recently she was mother to Axel and Darla and grandma to Leo (all three mini dachshunds). She was a regular at Seal Point Dog Park, and on the paths between Seal Point Park and Bridgeview Park on the shore of the San Francisco Bay. You could also find her at dachshund meetups in the Bay Area. She is reunited with her beloved dog Beauregard (basset hound) from childhood, and these dear pets we had growing up who all loved mom unconditionally: Karl (mini dachshund), Milli (English bulldog), Juno (labradoodle), Tiger (tabby cat), Penny (black lab), and Mr. Turtle (turtle).
It’s difficult to summarize all the things Mom loved. She loved travel, baking, jigsaw puzzles, trying new foods and going out to eat. She loved making candles and often gave them as gifts to friends and family. She loved Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks, both of which she saw in concert recently. She loved the TV shows Big Bang Theory and Expedition Unknown. She loved her Agatha Christie mysteries, Paranormal shows, and PBS Masterpiece programs. She was an avid watcher of all sports, and yes, even professional wrestling! She loved watching TV during quiet evenings while making dinner and relaxing with us and the pets. She loved going to the movies with her grandkids, watching their performances and taking pictures of the silly things they did with her. She looked after her kids, making sure we were fine and healthy and that we got home safely. She cared for us so much and so constantly that the true magnitude is only felt now that she is gone.
Growing up and sailing with her family on the beaches of Southern California connected Mom to the ocean. She loved it and sought the water wherever she lived and traveled. She would often say how much peace it brought her to be near a body of water. Her remains will ultimately join those of her parents and brother Corby in the Gulf of Mexico off Anna Maria Island in Florida. Although her home was here in California, she yearned for the warmth, sunshine, and beaches of Florida. We are joyous that she will finally live her dream.
Please join us in celebrating our beautiful Mom on Saturday, February 15th, 2025 from 1pm-5pm at the San Mateo Garden Center (605 Parkside Way, San Mateo, CA 94403).
In lieu of gifts, please consider making a donation to the Peninsula Humane Society.
