Pam Cullen

Pamela Lynn Cullen, 71, of Santa Rosa, passed away on April 3, 2026. She was born July 26, 1954, in San Francisco to Frank and Annabel Cullen. In 1962, the family moved to Sebastopol, where she grew up and graduated from El Molino High School in 1972.

Pamela loved making a difference in the lives of others and brought joy wherever she went—at home, work, church, or simply walking through her neighborhood. She had a gift for connecting with people; if she met you once, she knew you, and if you didn’t know her before, you quickly became her friend. She generously volunteered both locally and globally, helping prepare care packages for the unhoused and supporting children through international relief organizations.

Pamela’s career included roles as a secretary at Forestville School, a manicurist at Kelly Cline Hair De sign, and later with the County of Sonoma, where she re tired as a Senior Election Specialist in the Registrar of Voters Office, Campaign Finance.

She especially loved time with her husband of 34 years. Over the years they enjoyed riding Harley-Davidsons, hot-rodding in their 1939 Chevy, annual Hawaii trips, and in recent years, their greatest joy came from spending time with their great-grandchildren: Leila, Noah, and Mia as well as their family.

Pamela is survived by her husband, Larry Clem; daughter Melissa Fish Henderson (Sean); grandchildren and great-grandchildren; siblings: Denise Cullen Peterson, Janice Cullen, Michael Cullen, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sisters Linda Cullen (Starr) and Jackie Cullen (Gram).
