Patricia was a devoted Christian whose faith served as the foundation of her life. She lived with kindness, grace, and an unwavering love for her family. She dedicated 31 years of service to the United States Postal Service as a rural carrier in Grand Blanc, retiring in 2002. In her younger years, she cherished camping, traveling, and spending time boating with her husband. She was a devoted fan of the Nebraska Cornhuskers and rarely missed an opportunity to cheer them on. In her free time, Patricia enjoyed scrapbooking and collecting her favorite pieces of jewelry.

She is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, Thomas; two sons, Thomas R. (Kelly) Blakemore and Dennis J. Blakemore; four grandchildren, Ariel Blakemore, Trevor Blakemore, Evan (Kat) Blakemore, and Haley (Ray) Hernandez; and six great-grandchildren, Leo, Nova, Koda, Isabella, Sven, and Juniper.

Patricia's family finds comfort in knowing that her steadfast faith carried her throughout her life and that she is now at peace in the presence of her Lord and Savior.
