Pamela Susan Cluff Schulz
Heaven gained an angel March 29, 2021, when our beloved Mother, Nana, wife, sister, aunt, and friend, passed peacefully away at her home in West Bountiful, Utah, after a long fight with cancer. She was surrounded by her husband, children, and grandchildren. And the amazing staff of Elevation Hospice of Utah: Monica, Cha and Heidi.
She was born July 24, 1950, to Waldo Cullimore Cluff Jr. and Ione Neeley Preece. She always loved telling people that thanks to her dad: for years she believed that all the fireworks that night were because everyone celebrated her birthday.
She was born and raised in Bountiful Utah, where she was a Cheerleader at Bountiful High School and graduated there in 1968. She always wanted to travel and raise a family. She traveled when she could and raised an amazing small but fierce tribe. Her children never knew what it was to be without, never had any reason to doubt her love or guidance.
She was strong and fierce; funny and serious; brave and bold; but so very gentle and loving. She was everything anyone could ever want in a mother, a wife, a Nana, and a Friend. She will be missed by so many. We lost a lot on March 29, 2021, the day she silently said "See you later" for the last time.
She loved her "shits" (Shi-Tzu's) and her lap dog Jasmine (Red nose Pitbull). You could always find her surrounded by animals or family, when not at work. She loved staying up late and watching movies, crocheting, playing cards, or taking long baths and reading a good book. She was known for staying so long in the bathtub that she would run through a tank or two of hot water before she was ready to get out. If we didn't know any better, we would say she was a mermaid....
She loved and hated working at the Salt Lake VA Regional Office where she made many friends with not only her co-workers but her Coaches and Veterans she met in person or on the phone. Her sweet, quirky, and no-nonsense demeanor made her a favorite of anyone who met her. She was quick to crack a joke but also the one you knew would be there when times were tough with a kind word and a helping hand.
Pam was preceded in death by her parents Waldo and Ione Cluff, her sisters Penny Cluff and Crystal Curran. And her beloved puppies who were her other kids: Chief, Bebop, Jasmine, Diva, Bella, Tippy, and Tessa.
Pam is survived by her husband Lynn Schulz, her sister Sharon Burke (Jerry), her children Steven C Parkinson (Karianne), Bret T Parkinson (Kristine), Melissa S Black, Angela Schulz, Nicholas C Parkinson (KariAnn), Amber L Schulz, and LJ (Lynn) Schulz Jr. 14 Grandchildren, 8 Great Grandchildren, and one puppy (Pandora).
She wanted us to hold a Celebration of life which will be open to Family and Friends to come and celebrate such an amazing woman. In her words she wanted "Happy and Fireworks "
Her family would like to extend an invite to family and friends to join them in a celebration of her life on May 1, 2021 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm at 4487 W Tee Box Dr
South Jordan, Utah.
Flowers, cards and any other type of condolences can be sent to her home of 30+ years at 1279 N 725 W West Bountiful, Utah 84087.
