Pamela Sue Kuenneke

Pamela Sue Richard Becker Kuenneke, 80, passed away peacefully May 16th, 2026, and entered the arms of her Savior. She had a brief struggle with leukemia and long battle with dementia and passed away in Loveland, Colorado. She was born April 24, 1946, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Robert William Richard and Eunice Arcella Chase. She grew up in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and then moved around in her early years wherever her dad’s work took them, until they settled in Broomfield, Colorado when she was in high school. She lived in Broomfield until she went to college and met her husband, Ken Becker, and they married in 1965 and moved to Fort Collins. They had two children, Ken Becker II and William Becker. She worked for Belcher’s and Colorado State University in an administrative capacity. She and Ken divorced in 1993. She then married Nikolaus Kuenneke in 1996 in Ocala, Florida, where they lived until they moved back to Evans, Colorado. Nick passed away in 2009. Pam liked gardening, canning and freezing her own food. In high school she was part of the Honor Society and participated in the model United Nations. She did a lot of Bible studies and was in a biblical school for several years and graduated from that, of which she was very proud. She was a faithful member of the Catholic Church her entire life. She also loved sewing, ceramics, crocheting, knitting, and crafts of all types. She enjoyed making something special for the people that she loved. Pam was a willing participant in many family fishing and camping expeditions, even though her preference would have been a nice hotel. Although, she did enjoy catching little toads up at Horsetooth with Kenny, while Ken was fishing, and driving Ken crazy with that! Pam is survived by her children, Ken (Susie) Becker II, Bill (Jan) Becker; her grandchildren Kevin (Jennifer), Jennifer (Justin), Pat, Amber, Christopher, and Tyler; her great-grandchildren Amanda, Ella, and Kasher, her siblings Rick (Monica) Richard, Billie (Bill) McCamish, Bobbie Barr, and Camala Richard, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, and her two husbands. A service will be held at 977 W 1st Street Loveland 80538 in the Centennial Shelter June 20th at 1:30 PM. Please join us for a light snack and drinks as we celebrate mom. She will be interred at Fort Logan, due to her husband’s military service. In Lieu of flowers please make donations to The Leukemia Foundation in memory of mom.
