Patricia Ann Greaves

Pat was a lifelong resident of the Des Moines area and attended North High School. Pat and Les were Iowa Hawkeye football season ticket holders for over 40 years and later in life she enthusiastically rooted for the Chicago Cubs. Pat also was an “Avon Lady” for over 50 years, a career which she enjoyed and resulted in her developing many lasting friendships. A great cook, who loved hosting family dinners, she also liked reading, music and dancing, going to movies and most of all fun activities with family and friends. She was a beautiful person who will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

Left to cherish her life and memory are her husband of over 73 years, Les Greaves; her children, son Mike (Brenda) Greaves and daughter Mary Greaves; her grandchildren Jennifer (Adam) Trask, David (Janet) Baird, Scott (Christine) Greaves and Lisa (Jason) Larson; and great-grandchildren, Tanner, Zach and Kelly Trask, Karenna and Kerrigan Larson, JT and Tommy Baird and Ethan and Emily Klement. Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Wilbur C. and Janet M. Weigle; brothers Lynn, Larry and William Charles Weigle and sisters Marilyn and Sally Weigle; grandchild Brian Greaves and great-grandchild Edric Greaves.

Pat’s family wants to thank all of the wonderful caregivers who have loved and taken care of her at Mill Pond in Ankeny and would ask that all memorials be made in her memory to Mill Pond (1201 SE Mill Pond Ct, Ankeny, IA 50021).
