pamela loucksULYSSES – Pamela (Heyman) Loucks, 75, died Tuesday, May 9, 2023.      

She was born in January 1948. 

She went on to be a straight-A student, cheerleader, Drum Major for the marching band, champion debater, excellent pianist, saxophone and oboe player, and played organ for the Methodist Church.   

She and her future husband, Harvey Loucks Jr., started dating at the end of their junior year, and began college at the Univ. of Kansas together after graduation. She majored consecutively in organ, music therapy, art history, and finally English Literature. 

When the family moved to California, she fell in love with the flowering horticulture there and went on to earn a degree in ornamental horticulture from Foothill College. She also went on to become a California Certified Nurseryman, and a Santa Clara County Master Gardener.   

In addition to being a superb wife, mother, and homemaker, she spent nearly 15 years working in the plant nursery business. In her own gardens, she created masterpieces that family and friends admired and enjoyed. 

She was passionate about her family, her gardening, her cats, and her reading, especially poetry. Over her life, she wrote many poems which the family only recently discovered. 

She loved travel and she and Harvey were fortunate to be able to visit many parts of the world. Her collections of art and found objects from these trips decorated her homes and gardens.   

Survivors include her husband of 56 years, Harvey Loucks Jr.; her son, Eric, her daughter-in-law, Ilene, and her two granddaughters, Sofia and Anabel; and older sister, Josandra (Heyman) Barnes, Lawrence.

• She will be buried next to her beloved parents, Paul & Pauline Heyman, and her maternal grandparents, Albert & Bessie Dougan at the Ulysses Cemetery in Ulysses on June 8 at 10 a.m. Garnand Funeral Home will be handling the ceremonial details. 

The family will be hosting a reception following the burial at Bear Creek Coffee Co.
