April 2, 1940 - November 29, 2024
Our Mom, Patricia has made her last batch of delicious brownies that every member of our family couldn’t wait to enjoy. She was happiest in her kitchen baking, pasta making and sharing her skills with anyone who asked. Of course, you had to follow her directions carefully and watch very closely as the feel of the perfect pasta dough was in her fingertips and the fullness of the measuring cup was either just a little more or less. Mom was devoted to our family and always made sure everyone’s special meal was ready for their arrival when they visited.
Mom was a very proud Grandmother and Great Grandmother "Doni". She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren making crafts, going to the movies, getting down on the floor to play games, babysitting, sleepovers, attending recitals, hockey practices/games, theatre productions, and spending summer vacations at Lake Matinenda. Gramma was excited to listen to their stories, adventures and plans for the future. Gramma was supportive, recognizing their individual talents and encouraging them to follow their dreams.
Demonstrating strength, determination and dignity our Mom fought a brave battle and has reunited with the love of her life just in time to plan his 88th birthday and to celebrate as they dance together
again.
