Pamela Ann Guthrie

Pamela Ann Guthrie 

April 20th, 1956 - March 2nd, 2025

Pam passed away peacefully surrounded by her sisters at the University of Minnesota hospital.

"She was loved more than you’ll ever know. From kindergarten on, her soul was greater than her presence."

Pam was born in Richmond, VA and grew up in Northfield, MN.

Pam graduated from Northfield Senior High School with the class of 1974. She remained good friends with many in her class. Her years in Northfield were spent working, learning Russian, folk dancing, and studying at Carleton College. Pam moved to the Twin Cities in the late 1970's. This is where she truly became the person her many friends and co-workers knew and loved.

“Pam had a twinkle in her eyes and a ready smile. She made me welcome in the Dean's Office. A sad day for us.”

Pam had many friends from all over the world found through her long list of interests including spiritual growth, Greek philosophy, Asian cinema, art, writing, meditation, and of course, cats. Trips to Tibet, Hong Kong, many cruises, local adventures and jaunts down the river on the Johnathan Paddleford were favorites of hers.

"My ultimate goal is to be in that place of enlightenment all the time. Meanwhile, I got stuff to do." - PAG

Pam was always "doing”. Her wonderful singing group The Earthtones, Zoom meetings, facilitating lunch time meditations, attending the opera, being with her kitties Gracie and Mike, and spending time with her wonderful friends. So many friends from different parts of her life. They all have one thing in common: the love, joy, and trust she gave them.

We will miss her immensely, The Guthrie Girls, sisters that all had completely different relationships with Pam. All wonderful in their own way.

Pam loved her niece and nephews with all of her heart. They were given an incredible Auntie.  

Pam is preceded in death by her Mother and Father Peter and Mariea Guthrie, her nephew Gabriel, dear friends, JP and Josh, her kitty Giant Pirate Brady, and many others that touched her life. 

She is survived by sisters Lisa, Victoria, and Alison Guthrie, niece Mikala Love, and nephews Calder Guthrie, Logan Jones, and Mac Jones.

"Wellness goes beyond physical well-being. When we are balanced in our minds, emotions, body and spirit. When we practice attending to our thoughts, actions, and habits the world is our oyster. Or whatever else you might want it to be." - PAG
