Pat was born to George and Lena Tustison on March 25, 1936 and is survived by two sisters Carol Grimm and Joan Kimmel. She was preceded in death by her brothers George W. Tustison Jr. and Paul Gene Tustison.
Pat married William Arnold and they had a daughter, Debra Petersen (Phil Piersma) before William was tragically killed in an auto accident. She became Mrs. John Goings in 1958, and together they had three more daughters, Sandra Fackler, Sherry Janda (Jerry Wickey) and Karen Jones (Doug). She was blessed with 14 grandkids, and 11 great-grandkids. Pat spent the last 35 years of her life with Donald DeCamp, who preceded her in death last spring, but added three step-sons, Jon, Gary, and Jeff, and one additional grandchild to her family.
Pat worked alongside John Goings at their New Haven TV/Applicance store for much of her life, enjoyed working at White Swan Supermarket deli, and at Carl’s Tavern. She was also a member of the New Haven Moose Lodge and Navy Club. She loved camping, holiday parties, vacationing, and just relaxing on her deck birdwatching with family.
