I had the opportunity to work with Pam at Aspirus via the switchboard. She was always pleasant, even in those stressful situations. We had several laughs. She is missed here. God Bless.

Pam, we will miss you and your sense of the beauty of life so much. We can't help but remember the Mexican Rivera cruise with your Mom & Dad and Liz and Grandma and Grandpa, we had so much fun. There are so many memories, I remember when you and your Mom and Dad and Dick set me up for the surprise 50th birthday trip to St Thomas, you had so much fun being in on that, and I could go on and on, we will miss you sweetie, but are so thankful you were in our life.

Words cannot fully express how saddened I am to hear about Pam. She was a wonderful student, a kind and caring person, a shining star. I wasn't surprised to learn she'd become a doctor! Pam was in my first one-act play at MHS, one I'll never forget. MHS Drama was an exciting place when Pam walked through the door! May we find peace with those loving memories. My love to the family.

I have many fond memories of being a "drama head" with Pam. She was a year older, but many years wiser (even in high school). Thinking of Pam and the good memories that we shared as girls. Prayers to her loved ones at this time.

I am heart broken to hear of the passing of Pam. I have fond memories of sledding down the hill in her front yard as a child. I remember her childhood home as one full of laughter when I attended cast-parties there in high school. I will always remember Pam as a bright, strong and fun person who strived very hard to be the best person she could be. May God comfort you and bring you peace during this very sad time.

Dr. Z was an amazing doctor that I was lucky enough to work with. She had a love of her job that showed in her every interaction with patients. Her dignity while a patient herself was inspiring. Words cannot express what a loss Pam is. My heartfelt condolences to her family.

Pam and I became close while she was working at Aspirus. I am broken hearted. She was a hell of a doctor and a great friend. When my son was born and in the NICU, she came up with a huge bag of goodies and stayed and chatted with me to calm me down. When she was in the hospital, at the very beginning of this, I was there right after she had brain surgery. I have missed her so much. My thoughts are with you all and I pray god's grace will surround you all.

May God's grace & peace be with you all. I am a RN at Aspirus. I always valued Dr Zielinski's judgement & opinion. I knew the patients were in good hands when she was working. I have thought of her often while working the night shift
