She is preceded in death by her high school sweetheart and husband of 58 years, Charles Jefferson.
She is survived by her children- Craig and his wife Debra, Brad and his wife Jan, Kirk and his wife Kay, Julie, and Ken. She also leaves behind 13 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.
Patricia was very active raising her children- always baking, being den mother, room mother, going to all functions, including football games, to this day never forgetting the jersey numbers. She was active in her church- singing in the choir, giving people rides, and helping people less fortunate than she. And she always had a beautiful smile for everyone.
