Pamela Jean Cluff, former member
September 21, 1931  -  December 25, 2023

Pamela Cluff (born Pamela Jean Johnstone) passed away peacefully with family at her side on December 25, 2023. Pamela will be greatly missed by her four children – Susan (Neil Rudolph), Nancy Mahan (Michael), Jennifer and Jon (Tina Hachey), her three grandchildren – David, Rudolph (Samantha), Sarah Rudolph (Scott Levine) and John Hachey) -- her niece Helen Nealon, nephew John Parrott and their families. 

Pamela was born in London, England, trained as an architect, and came to Toronto in 1955. She opened a firm that became Cluff & Cluff Architects in 1957 with her husband Bill, designing hospitals, schools, nursing homes, clinics and group homes. Her specialty was accessibility design, helping the City of Toronto establish wheelchair accessibility standards, the curb cut program and Wheeltrans service.

Throughout her life, Pamela was passionate about architecture and design, generous with her time and expertise, a champion for the elderly and disabled. She enjoyed travel, the arts, music, crosswords and was always reading. Blessed with great energy, she had great style, wit, and a wonderful smile. No one who ever met her, forgot her.

Pamela was the recipient of the OAA da Vinci award in 1993 and served on many OAA councils and committees. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
