It is with heavy hearts and profound appreciation that we announce the passing of Pamela Season Walker. Pamela/Mum/Mom/Nana died beautifully on May 4, 2026, just as she wanted, at home, surrounded by her children Sarah, Nick, and Tori, and Nick’s wife Karin — with the unexpected bonus of her extraordinary Hospice team.
Born on November 3, 1932, in the charming city of Bristol, England, Pamela illuminated every life she touched with an enduring warmth and a boundless spirit of curiosity. She leaves behind a legacy rich in love, creativity, and dedication to the communities she cherished.
Pamela was the beloved daughter of George Norman Season and Katherine Elizabeth Prinz Pauli Season, and the older sister of George Durham Season. She grew up in Knowle, in Bristol, traveling across the city to Clifton High School through the war years.
Pamela met Richard Hoskin, her future husband, when they attended schools across the road from each other — she at Clifton High School for girls, he at Clifton College for boys. Pamela went on to Bath College of Domestic Science, then to work at a hospital in Oxford, where Richard was at university, before going on to Le Cordon Bleu in London, where she was offered a position at the exclusive Winkfield School by Constance Spry. Instead of pursuing a career in London, Pamela chose to get married. She and Richard married on September 3, 1955, and settled in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where Richard’s career began with Hedley & Co — the company that would become Procter & Gamble, and that would carry them across the Atlantic on the Queen Elizabeth to a new life in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Sarah — whom Pamela always called her “English child” — was two and a half when the family arrived in the United States for what was meant to be a two-year temporary posting. When they were asked whether they wanted permanent visas and the shipping of all their furniture, Pamela said yes to both — without knowing why, yet it opened a whole new world of possibilities. Nick was born five months after they arrived in Cincinnati — Pamela’s “half-and-half,” with the first half pronounced in the long English a. Two years in, Pamela and Richard made the courageous decision to leave Procter & Gamble and to stay in America for good. Three and a half years after Nick came Victoria — Tori — Pamela’s all-American child.
Pamela made friends easily and stayed in touch with them across decades — friends all over the United States and back home in the UK, sustained through her newsy letters. She loved entertaining and was known for her elegant dinner parties. In her younger years she was an energetic and efficient organizer, serving as a board member and chair of the Cincinnati Ballet, chair of the Friday Nighters who supported the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and a dedicated member of the Symphony, the Opera, and the May Festival Committee. She formed the first women’s ballet committee. Classical music moved her all her life. And nothing — nothing — got her up and dancing and singing like Mamma Mia.
Pamela was a creative woman whose well never ran dry. The training she had set down in London she carried into her American life — into the homes she made, the tables she set, and the gardens she tended. After thirteen years of raising children, she turned her gift outward and started The Season Kitchen, a successful catering business in Indian Hill, Ohio, delivering thousands of the most delicious quiches across town in the back of her green, wood-paneled Ford Country Squire — the same wagon that took the family on legendary camping trips, systematically packed with dishes and saucepans so she could cook the way she always cooked, anywhere.
Pamela and Richard’s marriage ended in 1985 and she transitioned into the world of floristry — first working with Jones the Florist in Cincinnati, then opening her own business, Glenover Gardens, in Kenwood, Ohio. Her eye for beauty led her to design arrangements for the Cincinnati Antiques Festival, where she caught the eye of Martha Stewart, who offered her a job. Pamela, however, again chose the path of love. She had met Warren Worthy Walker in December 1986 — and she knew, the moment she met him, that she would marry him. They wed on July 25, 1987. Warren adored her.
After a few more years in Cincinnati, Pamela and Warren moved to Fort Myers, Florida, and enjoyed the retired life of southern Florida — the beautiful weather, the life in a golfing community, morning hours combing the Sanibel Island beaches for their bounty, and invitations to her children and their families to come together and swim, laugh and play. When Warren’s Alzheimer’s progressed and Pamela knew she needed family near, they moved together to Longmont, Colorado, in the fall of 2000, to be close to Nick and Sarah and their families. Warren died on June 6, 2002.
In the years that followed, Pamela returned to her lifelong love of classical music, becoming a season ticket holder and devoted volunteer with the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra for nearly twenty years. Her interest in natural healthcare led her to an active role with Young Living Essential Oils, which she shared with passion and devotion for more than twenty years. Pamela never truly retired — she kept saying yes, gathering, sharing, and shining her light to the very end.
Pamela was predeceased by her parents, her brother George Durham Season, beloved family friend Violet Elsie Stoat, and her husband Warren Worthy Walker. She leaves behind a devoted family: her cherished children — Sarah (Steve), Nick (Karin), and Tori (Bob) — and eight adored grandchildren — Andrew, Alea, Michael, and Gracie Clymer; Caleb and Livia Hoskin; and Emily and Josh Zegel — who were the light of her life.
Pamela often affirmed her love to shine her light into any room she entered and any person she encountered. She loved striking up conversations with strangers, and she carried her curiosity about life’s wonders to her last days. Peace, love, and joy were her signature — three things she gathered and gave away her whole life long.
Pamela’s life was a symphony of love, creativity, and joy. As we bid her farewell, we hold onto the memories of her laughter, her kindness, and her unwavering spirit. May her light continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra and The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado, in honor of Pamela’s enduring loves of music and the natural world. The family would also love to suggest a donation to Tru Hospice in Pamela’s honor, https://www.trucare.org/make-a-donation-to-tru/.
There will be a Celebration of Life held Saturday, June 13, 2026, at The Wild Sage Common House in North Boulder. Pamela has asked everyone to wear bright, colorful, and/or flowery outfits. There will be an Afternoon Tea Reception following the ceremony. All are invited.

My deepest sympathies to Pamela’s family and friends in these tender days since her passing. She led an extraordinary and creative life, bringing an amazing family into the world with Richard…each of her children and grandchildren uniquely talented and creative in their own amazing ways! May her creative legacy continue on through her family, including her infamous Sunday Roasts and love of beauty…wishing you all peace and comfort as you remember her with love.
Cheers to a life well lived and well loved! Well done Pamela…Well done!!!
I will always treasure Pamela’s warm and bright enthusiasm, family dinners, the open arms when I needed a place to live during the Glenover Gardens era, and the sometimes intermingled scent of Thieves, flowers, a pot of soup, dogs, and fresh garden air. The original Troll Hut, Keith building the back deck, crashing Rat’s bachelor party only to find everyone passed out, attempting to pick the right flowers, typing her first letter to Martha, Pamela and Warren’s visit to Seattle, the story of the sudden departure from Longmont, the Pamela-ness infusion of life at Wild Sage, the solid grounding + airy essence of herbs, oils, and flowers everywhere she went, and her amazing children and grandchildren. Love to you all!
Nana was truly a gift. I was so lucky to have known and loved her. She led such a beautiful life. Sending love to the family.
Pamela and her family were a significant inspiration for me… shaping my life and my choices for 30 years or so. My extended family lived far enough apart that we had infrequent contact and “special occaision” relationships. I marveled at the way Pamela gathered her family around her and was essential partner in raising all those delightful children. Family extended beyond blood relations too; she warmly welcomed me and many others into the fold. Pamela was the grandmother I hoped to be one day. (and yes… I now live 5 minutes from Shanti, Tyler, and two-year old Willa.) Thank you, Pamela!
