She was a creative being who blessed her friends and family with paintings, sculptures, and unique knitted and sewn pieces. The world has lost so much beauty with her passing, but we are left with her essence in our homes, yards and wardrobes. She lives on.
Patty was the daughter of Marjorie O’Brion and Linwood Dingley, the wife of Joe Bell, the mother of Belinda Bell Heerwagen, the grandmother of Abbey Spaulding and Caroline Duggan, and the great grandmother of Cormac Duggan. Her husband, my father, preceded her in death on 04 Mar 2024, also at the age of 90. They are back in each other’s company; heaven is joyful.
This is the nature of things.
