Pamela "Pam" Lin Tomlinson

Pamela Lin “Pam” Tomlinson, 65, passed away on October 11, 2025, at Countryside Mease Hospital. Pam was born on December 27, 1959, in Alhambra, CA to the late Robert Cleveland and Velma Kangas Cleveland. Pam is survived by her beloved son, Jon Kochen, her devoted husband, Robert Tomlinson, Jr., and her loving sister, Caroline Erwin.

Pam was a proud graduate of Saint Petersburg College and a dedicated employee of Raymond James Financial for more than three decades.

Pam truly loved life. She loved her fur babies, the puppies and kitties that she showered with affection. She loved her plants and flowers that she tended with great care. She loved to prepare wonderful meals to enjoy with family and friends. She loved traveling with her husband, going to new places and taking in the beauty around her.  She loved sports, especially NASCAR, football, and hockey. Most of all, Pam loved people. She truly loved everyone and would help anyone. Pam was the most genuine, kind, and loving person you could hope to meet. Even amid her own health struggles, Pam would reach out to others going through cancer treatments to reassure them and let them know that there was a light at the end of the tunnel and that it was not the end. If you knew Pam, you loved her. Her kindness and strength will be remembered by all who knew her.
