In Loving Memory of Camme White-Loucks

June 17, 1952 - July 21, 2026

Camme White-Loucks, 74, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, passed away on July 21, 2026, after a long journey with Alzheimer's disease. Her family will celebrate her life on September 12, 2026-a date that carries special weight, as it marks 34 years of Camme's sobriety.

Camme was, above all, a presence. Walk into a room and you knew she was there. She lit up when she saw a friend, said exactly what was on her mind, and carried a kind of innocent naivete that somehow let her get away with saying things nobody else could. She was fun-loving, flirty, sharp, and warm-hearted, often all at once.

She was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at St. John Hospital to Henry M. White Jr. and Helen Reeds Miller. She was a strong student, often insisting that her brothers do their homework and accept her occasional tutoring. After graduating from Memorial High School in Tulsa, she went on to make very good grades during a year at OU. But school was never where she wanted to be. She wanted to work. She came back to Tulsa, took secretarial and business classes, and found her calling assisting at law firms, where she built a career she loved. It may have been in her blood: her mother, while not a lawyer herself, worked for a federal judge and was well known throughout the Tulsa legal community.

Camme's father, with a storied career as a Yale-educated minister and a successful stockbroker, was already sober when Camme found her own way into recovery. When she was ready, he turned her over to Joe Lane "for safekeeping." Joe was a long-time fixture in the A.A. recovery community in the early '90s. He always needed a ride, and Camme had a car and a job. The two of them went to meetings together constantly from then on. They were long-time running buddies, and he became something like a fatherly protector to her, a bond that lasted the rest of his life.

Camme never missed marking a friend's AA birthday; she showed up with a gift every time; many referred to those gifts lovingly as "a Camme bag." She used that car and that job to spend many hours driving people-especially the young men in the rooms-to meetings. Those were some of her fondest memories, and the times she had some of the most fun in her sobriety.

She met Wayne at a big group picnic in Eureka Springs. She had been widowed recently, and Wayne was in the process of divorcing. Both came to a beloved A.A. conference in Eureka Springs at the urging of friends to get away for a life-restoring weekend. Annie Hewgley and Della Blackburn (Annie is still with us; Della has since passed) had suggested to Camme that she should go; Michael had nudged Wayne. At the annual Saturday picnic gathering, the two passed on the stairs and caught each other's eyes. That was the spark that began an attraction that grew into a life together.

Camme never had children of her own, though she was a mother figure to those she loved, including her niece Lauren White, whose death was a loss that stayed with her. When she married Wayne on May 17, 2013, she married into instant motherhood, taking on Wayne's six kids and the full, lively chaos of the Loucks family.

Beyond her family and her recovery community, Camme lived life with a heart for giving. She actively supported the Alzheimer's Association , had a fondness for animal adoption agencies, and made a deeply meaningful contribution to medical science through the Willed Body Program at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. She brought this same warmth and joy to every holiday, cherishing festive gatherings with family and friends.
