Pamela Neil Rhodes passed away peacefully on Friday, November 29th.
For more than 50 years, Pam was the heart of Suburban Opticians. Her passion for helping people see and feel their very best was felt by every customer who walked through the door. Working alongside her father, Lloyd Neil, and her sister, Melissa Rodriguez, Pam helped build Suburban Opticians into a place known not just for quality care, but for genuine connection.
Pam’s customers were more than clients; they were friends. Many returned year after year, generation after generation, because of the warmth, patience, and expertise she brought to every individual. Across the optical industry, she forged relationships that remain strong today - a testament to her kindness, loyalty, and unwavering dedication.
Pam loved her work deeply and she poured her heart into the craft of being an optician. Her presence shaped the identity of Suburban Opticians, and her legacy will continue to live on in the countless people she touched.
She will be profoundly missed.
