In Memoriam - Dr. Pam Dorion Greene

I first met Pam Dorion in 1971 or 1972 when we both worked part-time at Sears in the Northside Shopping Center. I always enjoyed talking with her because of her humorous upbeat attitude toward work, life and love, and I thought she was very mature for being six years younger than me. She told me about her boyfriend, just home from a tour in Viet Nam, about to start work with United Airlines at MIA in a part-time seasonal position and I applied for a position too and both of us were hired. Her boyfriend, Rob Greene, and I soon became buddies while working at United and my wife at the time and I socialized with Rob and Pam before they moved to Houston, Texas.

Pam was born in Ayer, Massachusetts in 1953 but was raised in Miami, Florida. She graduated from Miami Carol City High School in 1971, where she was head clarinetist with the marching band and a member of Honoria. After Pam and Rob moved to Houston, she attended Texas Chiropractic College in Pasadena, Texas. Pam graduated in the top ten percent of her class in 1980 and she moved to Lakeland, Florida. She became the first female chiropractor in Lakeland, Florida in 1981.

Pam was a breast cancer survivor from age 22 to age 54 when she passed away on October 21, 2007.

Pam Green was my younger sister. She was a person FULL of life! She made me look and feel tired all the time. Pam was never conceited or arrogant. None of our family was raised to be. Pam loved her son, Ryan, with her whole heart. She considered him the best thing she ever did, right up there with Chiropractic! Her boundless energy was to help humanity. She was writing a book on breast cancer when she died. On her gravestone are her life's motto: "She loved people" Bye, little sister, Pammy. Chris Tyler

I was a fellow member of the carol city chiefs marching band from 69-71 and I knew Pam from there as well as having her in a few of my classes. Pam was always the same - nice, sweet and caring. Although she was exceptionally beautiful, she never presented herself with an arrogant or "uppity" attitude. She took time to be friends with everyone in the class, both black and white, well-to-do or not. I am saddened by her lost but unplifted by the fact that she lived a life worth living.

I am very sad to hear that Pam has passed away. I sat next to her nearly every day in band at Carol City Junior High School and later at Carol City Senior High. We became very good friends and I admired her for her warmth and sweetness. I remember she challenged me in band to move up one seat in the clarinet section, she beat me, but didn't feel bad because she was my friend. I know she is in a better place and I wish her family the best. Eric Schrader
