Pamela was a massage therapist at the Tri Health Clinic of Kilauea, where she created a caring and loving atmosphere for both her clients and fellow therapists. Her commitment and devotion to the Ayurvedic tradition of healing and health enriched the lives of everyone she met.
She was a steerswoman with Pu’uwai Canoe Club of Wailua for many years and will be remembered among the paddling community as a courageous, fun loving and positive role model who delighted in introducing others to her love of the ocean and paddling. Her enthusiasm and encouragement brought numerous people to the sport. The same strength of heart that allowed Pamela to steer canoes across ocean channels was felt by family, friends and the community. We pray that this same strength will aid Pamela as she steers her new journey. She was a gift to us all and we will miss her caring, loving nature and joyous laughter.
