On December 26, 2021, Patricia Ann Burrell passed away on her 82nd birthday. She traveled to heaven to join her parents, Leo and Mildred Kostel; her husband, Gene Burrell; her sons, Tim and Paul Burrell; and her sisters, Marilyn Gildea and Joyce Merhar. Remaining on this earth to continue with this life, is her daughter, Dawn Ross; her daughter in law, Nicole Burrell; and her grandchildren, Alexander & Sedona Ross and Zaiden & Brody Burrell.
Patricia enjoyed working as an executive secretary who worked various jobs including Cherry Creek High School and numerous oil and gas companies. She frequented the health clubs, always enjoyed any trip (long or short) to the Colorado mountains, and genuinely loved her grandchildren. She adored Christmas and her birthday; she squeezed in one more of each before leaving for heaven.
