Patricia Corbridge

She was born in Eugene, Oregon on May 16, 1949, and adopted by Charles and Joan Rufner, allowing her to grow up in Portland, Oregon alongside her sisters Gloria Bedell, Rosemary Rufner, Linda (Rufner) Lappin, and her brother Bruce Rufner. She attended local schools growing up before going to Portland Community College to study to become a dental assistant, and also where she met her beloved husband, Virgil, for the first time.

She is survived by her husband Virgil, siblings Linda, Rosemary, and Bruce, children, Erick Corbridge and Meghan (Corbridge) Jackson, and her grandchildren, Hayley and Drew Corbridge, and Abigail and Lucas Jackson.
