Patti was love. If you spent much time around her, eventually she would ask "have I told you I loved you lately." Her faith allowed and inspired her to love others more than herself. She knew who she belonged to and through the joys, trials, and tribulations she remained poised and smiling with pure contentment. She was gentle and kind; her smile would give everyone so much joy. She was strong, selfless and enjoyed life while loving her family and friends unconditionally through all seasons. God has now joyfully welcomed Patti with open arms and claimed "Well done, good and faithful servant!”.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth "Kenny" Woodrow Thomas on September 12, 1994.

Patricia is survived by her daughter, Kim Kelly, and husband, Scott; sons, Mike Thomas and Brett Thomas; her sister, Sharon Richardson and deceased husband by marriage, Bob Butler and deceased husband by marriage, Jim Richardson; her brother, Bob Bourgeois and wife, Tina; nieces, Courtney Bourgeois, Dawn Spikes and husband,Tracey and Kristen Braaksma and husband, Steve.

Patricia is also survived by her niece's children who were very special to her; Robert Braaksma, Grant Spikes, Trent Spikes, Cade Spikes and Caroline Spikes; and many other loving cousins and relatives and friends.

She is whole with God's grace and mercy now and reunited again with Kenny and other loved ones rejoicing faithfully in Heaven.
