Pamela Michele O’Sullivan passed away surrounded by her closest family on December 3, 2025 at 4:22 pm. Born July 13, 1964 in Rushville, Indiana, she was the daughter of Laurence and Helen (Stone) Porter.
On May 27, 2002, Pam married the love of her life, Robert “Opie” O’Sullivan, with whom she shared many wonderful years full of love and laughter. She dedicated her talents to several workplaces over the years, including Collection Associates, and the office of Dr. Purnendu Datta. She made many lifelong friends working at The Medical Multi-Specialty Clinic with Dr. Ricardo Domingo, who was a supportive mentor and father figure to her.
Pam loved music and using her beautiful voice to sing and enjoyed spending time near the water or beach when she was able. She found joy in her hobbies–crocheting, gardening, baking; and took great pride in maintaining a warm, welcoming home. She was a devoted wife to Opie, and a loving mother and sister. At the center of her world was her family, along with her beloved puppies, Sage and Moonie, who brought her endless comfort, companionship and laughter.
Pam will be remembered most fondly for her kindness and the love and empathy she gave so freely. Many of her children’s friends loved her as a second mother figure due to the warmth and welcome she offered them as well. She believed in equality and love for all. Her presence will be so deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
