Although it is with great sadness we have to say goodbye to this beautiful, loving, compassionate woman, we will always cherish the extraordinary person she was and the impact she had on those around her. There wasn’t a holiday or birthday that wasn’t celebrated and honored completely by Patty. Her cheerful spirit, generous and loving heart and exceptional cooking graced everyday.
Patty graduated from Shoreline High School in 1962 and had a successful banking career for 19 years, retiring as a Trust Officer at The Bank of California in 1981. Patty started her restaurateur career in 1981 when she opened Pat’s Cookie Jar which later became Pat’s Restaurant and Bakery in Bremerton Washington for over 29 years. During that period she also opened Pat’s Bakery in Old Town Silverdale, Washington. The Kitsap County Fair wasn’t complete without the aroma of her famous cinnamon rolls. She brought endless joy with all the goodies and fabulous food she provided to family, friends, co-workers and the community. “Patty always had a treat for everyone.”
Chuck and Patty’s passion for beagles was known throughout the beagle community as Happy Run Beagles. Together they bred over 2000 award winning pure breed beagles. Patty’s love of flowers and gardening was a wonderful extension of her sensitivity to nature and appreciation for everything living.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Milo and Gerda Root.
She is survived by her devoted husband Charles Liebenrood, her sisters, Carol Shoemake (Larry) and Elaine DeMars (Michael). Her smile and endless love was a constant blessing to her nephew Ian (Billie), and nieces, Romelle, Michelle, Rebecka (John), Kathleen (Erin), Shawnra (Jayson), Karri (Gus), and Kristie (Joaquin) and their families.
She spent her later years loving and caring for Chuck’s extended family. Patty was a fun, compassionate and forever loving grandmother.
Patty will be remembered as one who greeted everyone with a loving smile, warm heart, creating memory after memory around the table of life.
