Pamela "Pam" A. (Mundt) Finney, 73, of LaFontaine, Indiana, was welcomed into her heavenly home at 5:16 p.m., on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at Heritage Pointe of Warren, Indiana. She was born on August 6, 1952, to the late Howard L. and Barbara J. (Waggoner) Mundt in Fort Wayne, Indiana. 

Pam was a 1970 graduate of Marion High School. After graduating, she attended Purdue University for two years. She worked at Hoosier Meat Market, First Federal Savings, and Hank's Grocery Store before becoming a Postal Clerk. She eventually became Postmaster of the LaFontaine Post Office and remained there until her retirement in 2012 after almost 30 years. 

Pam married the love of her life, John Finney, on October 14, 1972, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Marion, Indiana. She enjoyed going to concerts, reading, listening to music (her favorites were Elvis, Barry Manilow, and Kenny Rogers), traveling, cross stitching, and most of all spending time with her family and friends. Her cross-stitch pieces will now be cherished keepsakes for her family to enjoy. Her warm smile, sense of humor, and spunk will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Pam always put others before herself and was a wonderful example of a loving and devoted daughter, wife, mom, grandma, and sister. She previously attended St. John's Lutheran Church in Marion as well as LaFontaine United Methodist Church where she served as a Sunday School teacher and youth counselor. 

Pam is survived by her husband of 53 years, John Finney of LaFontaine, Indiana; children, Angie Benner of LaFontaine, Indiana, Brian (Jennifer) Finney of LaFontaine, Indiana; granddaughters, Emily Benner of Indianapolis, Indiana, Ariel Benner of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Lexi (fiancĂ©' Riley Jernigan) Finney of Jonesboro, Indiana, and Courtney (fiancĂ©' Casey Boardman) Finney of LaFontaine, Indiana; siblings, Cindy (Tom) Hughes and Mike (Karen) Mundt; sister-in-law, Deena Finney; nieces and nephews, Jeannie (Oliver) Haste, Joy (Greg) Beghtel, Adam (Hannah) Follin, and Ian (Jen) Mundt, as well as several great nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents and brother-in-law, Robert Finney.
