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.
