Patricia was born on October 30, 1948, in Lansing, Michigan, where she was raised among her 6 siblings. Patricia carried the values of her upbringing throughout her life, demonstrating a deep sense of family.
Residing in Lansing, Michigan, for many years Patricia was a member of UAW Local 602 and worked for General Motors where she retired from. Patricia embraced life with an enthusiasm that was infectious. She enjoyed the thrill of the casino, often sharing joyful moments there with family and friends. She loved watching the Soap Operas and HGTV channel. Her love brought fun and excitement to family gatherings, where she could often be found causing friendly trouble. A great cook and an animal lover, she found joy in the simple things, particularly spending precious time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.
Patricia leaves behind a legacy of love and warmth, survived by her daughter Nikki (Jere) McFalda, Brother Robert (Aleta) Chapman, Companion Roy E Ross and extended family Crystal Ross and Jadyn Ross; along with her grandchildren Ashley Ochoa-Matz (Adam Matz), Ryan Venable, a great-grandchild Kaydence Ochoa and many nieces and nephews. Each of them carries a piece of Patricia's spirit within them.
Patricia was preceded in death by her husband, Alan M Wing; parents, Doris and Joseph Chapman; and siblings, Joan Dean, William Chapman, Doug Chapman, Jackie Tuttle and Edward Chapman.
Visitation for Patricia will take place at the Gorsline Runciman Funeral Home, 900 E Michigan Ave, Lansing, MI on March 7, 2026, at 11:00 AM, followed by a Memorial Service at 1:00 AM and burial at Glendale Cemetery in Okemos, MI . We invite all who knew and loved Patricia to join us in celebrating her remarkable life, a reflection of kindness, strength, and unwavering family devotion.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Otsego County Animal Shelter, through the funeral home.
