Pamela Loewenstein Obituary
A ceramic artist, passionate advocate for social causes and devoted Mom and Grandma who grew up in Kankakee, IL, attended Shimer College after her sophomore year of high school and then transferred to Oberlin College where she received a BA in English. She lived in England with the Experiment in International Living before moving to Chicago to work for WTTW, the PBS TV station. It was there that she met her future husband, Michael Loewenstein, and after marriage in 1963, moved to Evanston where she, as the best stay at home mom ever, raised their two sons, Dave and Tim.
Pam returned to academia in 1991 to receive an MA in history from Northwestern University where her thesis was on women reformers after WWI. She moved to Lawrence in 1997 to become an accomplished potter (working out of the studio she shared with her son Dave), serve as the vice chair for the local branch of the ACLU and care for her home and garden in Old West Lawrence.
Survived by sons Dave Loewenstein of Lawrence, KS; Tim Loewenstein and spouse Diane Loewenstein of Eagle, ID; grandsons, Jake Loewenstein of Plainfield, IN, Luke Loewenstein of Las Vegas, NV and Andrés Loewenstein of Lawrence, KS; niece Ann Amberg of Langley, WA; and nephew Chris Amberg of Ft. Calhoun, NE.
