Pamela "Pam" Jean McNabb, aged 69, of Moline, Illinois, passed away peacefully at home on April 3rd, 2026, surrounded by her loving family after bravely facing a battle with lung cancer.

Born on January 20, 1957, in Ottumwa, Iowa, Pam was the cherished daughter of Marion and Vada "Bernice" McElroy. She was a proud graduate of Ottumwa High School. Throughout her life, she was married twice—first to David Wayne and later to Richard McNabb. Pam dedicated 25 years to her career at Excel/Cargill, where her commitment and hardworking spirit were deeply admired.

Pam treasured the simple joys of life. She loved sharing laughter and drinks during lively games of Farkle with friends, and found happiness in bonfires, camping, and fishing trips with her family. Her trips to casinos brought delight, yet the moments she valued most were those spent with her children and grandchildren—times filled with playful pranks and “magic tricks,” as well as cozy evenings playing Spades, Uno, or assembling puzzles together.

She is lovingly remembered by her children Robyn Wayne of Moline, Amanda Randolph of Ottumwa, and Ryan (Andrea) McNabb of Ottumwa; her nine grandchildren Mackenzie, Tanner, Kelsey of Moline, and Alex, Chance, Jacey, Lola, Mason, and Liam of Ottumwa; and her eight great-grandchildren Keyleigh, Zoey, Lucas, Amelia, Avereigh, Maverick, Vada, and Maelynn. Pam also leaves behind her sister, Marlyn Reyes; brothers Thomas and Marvin McElroy; along with many nieces and nephews who will cherish her memory.

Pam was preceded in death by her beloved parents Marion and Vada "Bernice" McElroy, her former husband Richard McNabb, her brothers Patrick and Jimmy McElroy, and her sister Peggy Roberts.

A celebration of Pam's life will be held at a later date to honor the warmth, love, and joyful spirit she shared with all who knew her. Her memory will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of her family and friends.
