PAMELA CECIL-GALLI
NEW YORK, New York – Pamela Lynne Cecil-Galli passed away on Friday, November 14, 2008, after a difficult 14 month battle with metastatic cancer.

Burial was in Greenwood Cemetery. The Ralph J. Wittich-Riley-Freers Funeral Home was in charge of the local arrangements.

She was born on December 20, 1955, to Lloyd and Shirley Cecil in Newport, Rhode Island. The family moved shortly back to Muscatine, Iowa.

After graduating from Muscatine High School, Pamela pursued a career in Musical Theatre. She spent a short time in Chicago and Kansas City, and then moved to New York City. Michael Bennett hired Pamela for the first national touring company of A Chorus Line, where she played the character Maggie. Her Broadway theatre credits included A Can Can, Forty Second Street, and La Cage Aux Folles. Pam’s movie credits included the role of the villain in the movie Mommy 2. She acted in many commercials and preformed in regional theatre. After leaving theatre, Pamela ran a Music Together Program in several areas in Manhattan, teaching basic musical skills to infants and small children.

Pamela touched many lives. Her husband, Dr. Louis C. Galli, a Sports Medicine Physician in New York City, her chocolate Lab, Rocky, and her tabby cat, Barney, survive her.
