Pamela “Pam” (Butcher) Hawes, 69, passed away peacefully while surrounded by her loving family, on September 25, 2026, following a lengthy illness.
Pam resided in Springfield, Ohio for most of her life before moving to Hilliard to be closer to her daughters. She graduated from Northwestern High School in Springfield and went on to graduate from Community Hospital School of Nursing. Pam dedicated her career to caring for others as an ICU Registered Nurse, working for decades at Community Hospital in Springfield before retiring from Springfield Regional Medical Center.
Pam had a personality all her own. She was funny, strong-willed, and never afraid to speak her mind. She loved getting lost in a good book, playing her computer games, and watching the Cleveland Browns with her family. Above all, Pam loved her family fiercely and nothing brought her more joy than the people she loved. She was incredibly loved in return.
Pam is survived by her beloved husband of nearly 43 years, William “Bill” Hawes and daughter Emily Hawes, both of Hilliard, Ohio, daughter Chelsea (Stephen) Winter, of Centerton, Arkansas, and granddaughter Makenzie Winter, who was the light of her life. She is also survived by five siblings and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Wilma and Wilbur Butcher.
Pam will be deeply missed by her family, friends, former colleagues, and all those fortunate enough to have known and loved her.
Family and friends are invited to gather in celebration of Pam’s life at the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown in Springfield, Ohio on Sunday, October 4, 2026 from 2-4pm.
Tidd Family Funeral Home, Hilliard, Ohio, assisted the Hawes family.
