Patricia Ann Crum

Patricia Ann Crum, age 73, of Fountain Hills, Arizona passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, March 26, 2022. Pat was born April 30, 1948 to George and Goldie Beck in Dayton, Ohio. She moved to Phoenix in the early 60's and graduated with honors from East High School in 1966. While still in high school she began a 34 year career with Mountain Bell in the accounting department. Pat later held various forecasting positions in both Finance and Network Services. It was during this time that she met her husband Michael and so began a love story of 41 years. After retirement from Qwest in 2000, Pat busied herself with golf in a couple of ladies groups, tending to her flowers at her homes in Fountain Hills and Pinetop and working just about every Sudoku puzzle she could get her hands on. Annual wine tasting trips to Napa Valley were also one of Pat's favorite activities.

Pat is survived by her husband Michael, son and daughter in law, Matthew and Denise Lauerman, sister and brother-in-law, Connie and Edward Bartlett, niece Dawn Bartlett, nephew Chris Bartlett, step daughter Jennifer Crum, along with 2 grandchildren, Matthew and Tyler Lauerman. Pat was predeceased by father George Beck, mother Goldie Beck and sister Linda Beck.
