Predeceased by siblings George Purich, Jean Coruzzi, Mary Denny, Vera Moore, Stella Cull and Teresa Urghuart. Patricia (Auntie Pat) will be fondly remembered by her nieces and nephews and lifelong friends who all held a special bond and place in her heart. Born and raised in Chapleau, Patricia dedicated her life as administrator of medical records at Chapleau General Hospital. A talented seamstress and photographer having published two books she enjoyed swimming, figure skating, flying and a love for travel to many destinations. Patricia donated her time to many organizations such as the library, cancer relay, Chapleau Figure Skating Club and town events.
