Patricia Joan Marrs

She was a wonderful daughter, mother, sister, aunt and friend whom we loved so much and were loved in return.

Pat was born May 5, 1945 in Indianapolis, IN. She attended Vonnegut Public School No. 9 and graduated from Arsenal Technical High School. Pat’s nursing career began when she graduated from the IPS School of Practical Nursing, received her Associate Nursing certificate from Northern VA Community College, and successfully graduated from the University of Phoenix with her BSN. In 2005, Pat obtained her Master of Education degree from CSU.

Pat was a compassionate person and loved helping others. She held a variety of positions during her career. She worked as an intensive care and later hospice nurse. She was a director of nursing, director of adult day care, and a compliance officer at different health companies. She also worked on the UMCOR Colorado Flood Recovery team.

Her sense of caring was evident in her private life as well. She was a parish nurse, a Stephens minister, and a church vestry member. Pat also volunteered with the Loveland Lions, Read Aloud Loveland, and Loveland Rotary Kids Pak and was a member with Friends of the Loveland Library.

When not working, Pat enjoyed reading, crafting, watching movies, traveling, and dining out. She enjoyed spending time and talking with friends and family. She was a Broncos fan especially when John Elway and Peyton Manning were quarterbacks. Her daring spirit led her to take flute lessons and temporarily join a bell choir, even though she couldn’t read music.

Pat is preceded in death by her mother Margaret K. Carmichael. Pat is survived by her sister Brenda Glover, niece and nephew-in-law Leanne and Robert Porzycki, son Michael Pratt, and daughter Katherine Marrs.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, January 27 at 10 am at All Saints’ Episcopal Church, 3448 N. Taft Av., in Loveland. Red was Pat’s favorite color. If you would like to wear red in honor of her, please do. Afterwards, there will be a reception at the church.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Pat’s name can be given to the Wounded Warriors Project at www.woundedwarriorproject.org and to the Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program at https://www.gcfdn.org/marrs.
