Our wonderful mother joined our Heavenly Father on January 6, 2012. Once her eminent journey was known she was able to share her heartfelt words of love and memories to all of her cherished family and friends. She was born and raised in Miami, OK where she met the love of her life, Claude Bash.
He moved to Washington State for work and she followed. She was 16 when they married. They made homes all across Washington, including the Tri-Cities, Marblemount and Snohomish County. They together even spent a summer gold mining in Alaska.
Pat was preceded in death by her young son, Butch; and recently by her beloved husband of 60 years, Claude.
Her excitement in joining them eases our loss.
She leaves behind daughters, Linda (Hugh) Black, Marcy (Ken) Gladding and Patricia Bash; grandchildren, Eric (Sarah), Matthew, Amanda and Elliot; great-grandchildren, Kyrsten and Baylee and multitudes of family and friends.
She will be remembered mostly for her exhilarating and contagious laughter. We are so blessed having known and loved her.
Services celebrating her life will be held at Purdy & Walters at Floral Hills, at 6:00 p.m. on January 10, 2012.
