Patricia is survived by her daughter, MaryEllen (Robert) Bajema; cherished grandchildren Shannan Bajema and Angela Bajema; loving great-grandchildren Kaitlyn (Markwane) Billingsley and Meghan McBain; as well as her precious great-great-grandchildren Ivry and Zayden Billingsley; sister, Carol Ekkens; as well as niece and nephew, Juli (Joe) Ekkens-Long and Richard Ekkens; and many extended family members and friends.
Patricia found great joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved solving crossword puzzles, playing bingo, enjoying card games, and spending quality time with her loved ones at Sandy Pines, laughing and having fun with the people she held dear. Her warm spirit, quick wit, and love for family created countless happy memories that will live on. Her memory will be held closely and cherished by all who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to the American Heart Association or the American Lung Association. The family welcomes memories and messages at www.cookcaresgrandville.com in their guestbook online.
