Dickie, Pamela June (Bondy, Regnier) died peacefully after a courageous journey with cancer on the 8th of February, 2011 at age 59. She spent her final days surrounded by family and friends at Hospice Wellington in Guelph, where she received outstanding care. The best mother in the world to Melina Rose Bondy and Holly June Bondy; loving sister to Liana Palmer (Bill), the late Danny Dickie, Bruce Dickie (Liz), Warren Dickie (Fiona Yates), Janine Plante (Bill) and Bud Dickie (Bev Poole); supportive and endearing aunt to Dawn Dinham, Danielle Bondy-Sawyer, Brian and David Dickie, Emerson Dickie, June and Desmond Yates, Hudson, Audrey, Meredith and William Plante, Christina Poole, Seline and Terra McLeod, Daniel and Jordan Cosman, Craig and Corey Cope. Predeceased by parents June and Wilbert (Barge) Dickie, as well as first husband Michael Bondy. She was a caring step-daughter to Wanda Dickie. She will be dearly missed by partner Mike Gilbertson and countless friends. Pam was raised in Windsor and graduated from the University of Windsor; and she continued to be a student for life, learning from others wherever she went. She taught for 31 years at Victoria Public School in Tecumseh, where she shared her love for music, books, and Mother Earth with students, families and colleagues. She moved to Guelph in 2008, enjoying every day of her early retirement. She loved gardening and the arts and found inspiration in everyday miracles. She made friends with everyone that she met, always practising kindness, acceptance and inclusivity. She taught us how to love unconditionally by example. True love is her living legacy. She will be deeply missed, though she will always live on in the hearts of those she touched, and she touched many. To know her was to love her, and to laugh with her - she gave us so many opportunities! Cremation has taken place.
