Pamela Jill Hite

Pamela Jill Hite, born March 12, 1938, in Woolwich, London, England, passed away on November 4, 2026. Pamela lived a life marked by warmth, talent, and grace. She was employed as an administrative assistant with several area defense contractors associated with Wright-Patterson AFB, bringing dedication and steady professionalism to her work. Beyond her career, she was a gifted artist of oils, acrylics, pastels, and watercolors, and she shared that gift generously by teaching many friends and family. She will be fondly remembered for her vibrant spirit, welcoming smile, and beloved English accent, all of which left a lasting impression on those who knew and loved her. Her family was central to her life and remains part of the enduring legacy she leaves behind. Pamela is survived by her children, Kerry (Jim) Hill, Stuart (Cynthia) Hite, and Douglas Hite; grandchildren, Shelby, Morgan (Raven), and Rachel; great-granddaughter, Alexandria; sisters, Shirley Smith and Michelle (Gavin) Lewis; brother, Paul (Annette) Bearsby; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, other extended family, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Edward, with whom she shared 65 years of marriage as of 2021, and by her parents, Reginald and Ethel (Moyle) Bearsby. A memorial service will be held on Monday, December 21st at 4:30 P.M. at the Belton-Stroup Funeral Home, 422 E. Dayton-Yellow Springs Rd., Fairborn.
