Patsy Ruth Kurtz - 07-09-1941 to 07-29-2020

Heaven gained two more angles last week. Patsy (Pat) passed away after suffering heart failure related to the COVID 19 virus at Desert Medical Center in Mesa, AZ. William (Bill) passed away only hours after his loving wife with complications related to COVID 19 virus at Shea Medical Center in Scottsdale, AZ. They were both amazing and loving parents of 3 children, 7 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Pat was the loving sister to 5 brothers and 5 sisters and Bill was the loving brother to 4 sisters.

They were both born on the same day exactly one year apart and passed away in less than 8 hours of one another. They supported each other through good times and bad while on this earth and they are now happy together in heaven. Their lives were always wrapped around taking care of anyone in need. They opened up their home on numerous occasions to host family members, friends and even strangers who found themselves in need. They could always be counted on to provide welcoming hospitality to everyone, if you came as a stranger you left as one of the family. Their home was a place where people gathered to play cards, board games and enjoy great conversations with lots of laughter thru the stories that were shared.

They were very active members of the Desert Gateway Baptist Church in Gilbert, AZ. They shared a deep Christian faith, always believed in heaven, and died knowing that one day we will all meet again. They will be dearly missed by all who knew them.
