May 15, 2025 Pamela K (McCallister) McMillion, 60, slipped the surly bonds of earth, peacefully, surrounded by her beloved family and friends. She lived with her son (Trenton McMillion) in Roseville, Michigan for several years as she waged her battle with cancer. She was welcomed into the arms of the Lord and reunited with loved ones and friends alike.
Pamela was born May 8th, 1965 to Billie and Virginia (Beach) McCallister in South Charleston (Tick Ridge), West Virginia.
Pamela is preceded in death by her parents: Billie and Virginia McCallister; grandparents: Elwood and Virgie Beach, Creed and Ruth McCallister; siblings: Benjamin (Ben) Franklin, Russell (Rusty) Lee, Paul George, and baby (Dusty) McCallister.
Pamela is survived by sisters: Belinda Gail Barker-Fox (Mark), Dreama Sue Lenn, and Sarah Darlene Golden (Joe); Sister-in-law Betty Jo McCallister (Ben). Her Children: Rachel McElroy (Alexander) and Trenton McMillion (Mary Rose). She was called Mimi by grandchildren: Claira Marie, Michael Alexander, and Emmett Daniel McElroy. She was also survived by many nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
Pamela married Brenton McMillion on June 14, 1987. He won her over by his daring ability to hang off a multistory building to win a game of hide and seek. They spent their time together going on long motorcycle rides and adventuring through the woods. As they grew older, they worked together to flip 11 houses, resulting in the primary home in South Charleston where they raised their two children. They separated after their last child graduated high school.
In addition to being a loving mother, Pamela loved the Lord. She held an unwavering faith in God, which she shared with everyone she met. She started her Christian journey attending Christian Faith Secondary Schools, where she loved to go to gospel sings with her mother and sisters. She believed in the power of prayer and the importance of living a life that’s reflected by her beliefs. Pamela’s legacy of strong Christian faith lives on through the many lives she touched and those she ministered to in time of need. Pamela took her profession and her Christian faith hand and hand; she lived a professional life of service graduating from West Virginia University with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She spent her career as a Registered Nurse for 36 years ending as the Director of Nursing. Pamela enjoyed traveling with her children, grandchildren, and friends to one of her favorite places on earth, Walt Disney World. She also spent time as a travel nurse living in many different states and cities over the years, including Myrtle Beach, SC; San Antonio, TX; Olean, NY; Charlottesville, VA; and Ypsilanti, MI. Pamela was a prolific writer, reader, and baker, always loving to share her bread recipe with all her guests. Later in life, she developed a passion for genealogy; with a deep curiosity for where her family came from, this led her to become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). She loved exploring her family lineage back to England and was very proud that her family had been in West Virginia since the 1700’s. In her final days, Pamela loved spending time with her family, friends, and pets in the garden on beautiful sunny days.
