Pamela “Pam” Lidstone Proctor
WATERVILLE – Pamela “Pam” Lidstone Proctor (Albertine Mimi Morin), lovingly known as “Gram,” passed away peacefully on Feb. 1, 2026, under the full Snow Moon, surrounded by family at Oak Grove Center in Waterville. She was 83.
Born Sept. 1, 1942, in Lewiston, to Annette Marie Morin, she was later adopted by Eva and Ralph Lidstone. Pam dedicated many years as a CNA at central Maine facilities, including Waterville Convalescence Center and Klearview Nursing Manor, where her kindness comforted many.
Pam lived a life rooted in compassion and creativity. She loved painting, gardening, and yard-sale treasure hunting, and she opened her heart and home to animal rescues. Her beloved terrier, Benji, was her faithful companion.
She was preceded in death by her daughter, Cherie Turbide.
She is survived by her daughters, Rita Nielsen (Frands Nielsen) and Diana Turbide; her brother, Rusty Harmon of Connecticut; and her eight grandchildren: Jonathan Turbide (Trudy), Joshua Turbide, Sara Louise Robinson Carter, Karl Gill, Rachel Turbide, Devon Decato, Brianna Tozier, and Eleanor Grace Trask, as well as 18 great-grandchildren, all of whom she cherished deeply.
A celebration of life will be held in warmer months.
