OBITUARIES
OF BLESSED MEMORY

T

he Detroit Jewish
News family mourns
the loss of its gifted
graphic designer Pamela
Ann Mahn.
Pam, 67, of Shelby
Township, passed away on
May 2, 2022, surrounded by
her adoring family. She was
a key member of the JN’s
award-winning design team
until 2014 when she was
diagnosed with lung cancer.
Pam was a joy to work
with, and her creative skills
and vibrant sense of humor
will always be remembered.
While working at the JN,
Pam developed a respect
and affinity for the Jewish
community and continued
to receive and read the
Jewish News long after
working there.
Pam’s heart outpoured
love. “Mom had no greater
love than that for her
children and grandchildren,”
said daughter Lindsay
Francuck. “Such love was
apparent in her every move
and her every word. We
hold no doubt that she lived
longer just to watch Jameson
and Lucia grow. They were
truly her greatest blessing.”
Pam had a deep affection
for her siblings, shown
with a delicate balance of
humor, love and wit. To
have witnessed the “sibs” in
action was a treat. Mom was
the “baby” of the siblings,
and she always relished that
place in her family.
Pam loved animals, plants,
flowers, chocolates and a
good steak prepared by her
son-in-law, Scott. Resting on
a lake or on the boat with
the wind in her face, she felt
the most peace. Mackinac

Island was her favorite place
and one that she frequently
visited.
She most admired “May
Day” (May 1) in which each
family member would call
her to wish her a “Happy
May Day!” She has entrusted
her granddaughter Lucia
to carry on the tradition of
May Day. “It is only fitting
that Mom stayed with us all
this May Day and departed
on the next day,” said
Lindsay.
Pam was extremely
talented and creative. She
had an eye for detail and
perfection. Sewing was one
of her many passions and
with each item made, she
inserted a tag “made by
Grandma with love.”
Her career in the graphic
arts industry allowed her
to tap into her creative side
as well as bring joy and
laughter to all she worked
with. With every job, she
formed lasting friendships.
If you worked with Pam, you
loved every ounce of it.
Pam’s last place of
employment, the Jewish
News, enriched her life
greatly. She thoroughly
enjoyed working there and

the friendships that were
forged. The sharing of faiths
was something she held dear
to her heart. Every Friday,
Pam would greet her Jewish
coworkers with a heartfelt
“Shabbat Shalom.”
The “gift of time” was
always apparent in Pam’s
nearly eight-year journey
with lung cancer. Her faith
allowed such a privilege
of more time, as did her
oncologist, Dr. Gregory
Kalemkerian at the
University of Michigan, who
guided her every step of that
journey.
Her last few weeks were
consumed by an outpouring
of emotion to friends, family
and all who knew her.
Pamela Ann Mahn was
the beloved mother of
Daniel Succarde and Lindsay
(Scott) Francuck; treasured
grandmother of Jameson
and Lucia; cherished sister
of Judy, Rosie, Joe and the
late Jim; daughter of the late
Joseph Mahn and the late
Rosemary Carrier. Pam will
be dearly missed by a host of
nieces and nephews, cousins
and friends.
Services were held at
Resurrection Cemetery
in Clinton Township.
Contributions may be made
to the Lung Cancer Research
Fund (Kalemkerian) at the
