Patricia Ann Reagan

Pat was born in Los Angeles on August 17, 1932. She was the youngest of three children. An avid dog lover even as a child, almost every photo of her as a child includes a dog. She claimed it was her sister that brought them home, but Pat was always the one petting them. Her love of dogs persisted all her life. She received her first Poodle, a brown miniature, from her sister. She called her GiGi. Pat went on to own four little black beauties over the course of her life, Angel, Kacey, Kellie and Katie.

Pat and her mother Grace moved to Fullerton in 1959. She joined the local catholic parish, St. Mary's Annex. It was later renamed St. Juliana Falconieri in 1965. She was an active parishioner until the later years of her long life.

Pat worked one job in her life as a comptroller at Union Oil gas co. She worked there for 38 years. She was offered an early retirement package at age 58 and took it. When she was at Union Oil, she was an avid bowler, being a valued asset to many a bowling team. She also took up golf for a while.

Pat was always a friendly person willing to engage in conversation and a laugh with almost anyone. She liked to travel. She was an early flier jetting off to a Hawaiian vacation when women passengers were wearing dresses, high heels, hats and gloves on flights. She later visited Ireland with her cousins to research their Irish roots. Her Irish roots found her a big Notre Dame sport fan complete with loads of supportive paraphernalia on display in her den. She even went so far as to visit the campus and sit in the stands cheering on her team in the pouring rain. Go team!!!

Pat served as the family archivist, collecting old and current photos of the family. She knew the history and how all the family members related to each other. She filled photo album after album with family photos. Her knowledge of her family tree will be sorely missed when we look through the albums and we need to know who is actually in that picture.

Pat never married so all of her nieces and nephews, their children and their children's children were very important to her. And we can say the same went for us. She was a wonderful Aunt to all of us. From popcorn Saturday movie night sleep-overs to trips to Disneyland to always lending a helping hand. She was beloved.

Good night and God bless, our sweet auntie.
