Pamela Marie Fairley

Pamela Marie Fairley, 63, of Burtonsville, MD, passed away on Wednesday, March 20, 2019.

She was born on June 21, 1955, to Joseph Dick Miller, Sr. and Ethel Jeannette Raley Miller at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, DC.

Pam, a longtime press operator who more recently sold real estate and made her own and friends’ houses shine, was retired from most of those pursuits. She has been spending most of her time, when not keeping Doug happy and fed, getting ready for the move to the river, picking out flooring, stone, furniture, and more. She thrived on making the Lazy River land free of weeds and nasty critters, and feeding everyone who showed up.

She loved spending time with friends, and loved deeply the most recent addition to their home, her “baby girl” Bella. It was amazing how quickly their bond became strong.

She is survived by her husband, Doug; sister Donna Miller Vencil (Jeff Brody); brother Fred Miller, Sr. (Sandy Miller); sister in law Donna Fairley ; stepchildren Allison Fairley Bowen ( Erik Bowen )and Evan Fairley; niece Diane Miller Thornley (Rusty Thornley); nephew Fred Miller, Jr. (Jen Miller).

She was preceded in death by brothers Ronnie Miller and Dick Miller, Jr.; her parents; and late husband, Skip Dykes.
