Her sweet and bubbly personality was infectious.

Patricia was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority at Michigan State College (MSU), and Second Presbyterian Church in Saginaw, Michigan. She is remembered for her unwavering positive energy, love for MSU games, and quick-witted sense of humor. To know her was to truly love her. She enjoyed cooking, boating, playing the piano, dancing and singing, golfing, gardening, word puzzles, going to the movies and traveling, especially to their home away from home in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Most of all, Patricia loved her family and spending quality time with them.  She was a true inspiration to everyone and will be forever missed.

She is also survived by eight great-grandchildren; James and John LeMay, Carter Pittwood, Andrew and Madeleine Scheel, Grayson and Bennett Lokitis, and Jaxon Rindskopf. Last but not least, her loyal companion Luetta Page “Lulu”; her loving dog and best friend whom she grew old with.

Patricia was also preceded in death by her sister Joan Giles, and her great grandson Camden Pittwood.
