On May 3, 2019, with her family at her side, Patti lost her battle with cancer. A battle, in the end, we think she won. She was able to say goodbye to many whom she loved, and there were so many of those. She laughed, cried and reminisced.
Patti grew up in Vancouver, lived in North Carolina, Edmonton and finally Victoria. She leaves behind the love of her life, Peter, her husband of 57 years; her daughter Jennifer, son-in-law Bob Cormie and their three children - Caitlin, Matthew and Isabel; and her son Rob and his son Koah. As a family we are overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of love and affection that Patti received in the months following her cancer diagnosis. We are so fortunate to have had a wife, mother, and our Book Granny, who gave so much to all of us while managing to give so much to others as well.
Condolences may be forwarded to [email protected]. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to one of Patti’s favourite charities: World Vision Canada or the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre.
