She was the heart and soul of our family, our matriarch, and the source of unwavering love and strength that held us all together.
Patty had an incredible way of making everyone feel at home in her presence. She was born fiercely independent with a deeply nurturing spirit, a loving heart, and generosity that knew no bounds. She was the kind of person who put everyone before herself, always making sure those around her felt loved, supported, and taken care of. She was loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Patty was the devoted wife of Ronald Bock for 48 beautiful years; a bond built on love, laughter, and unwavering support. The absolute best mom to her three children (and spouses) – Melissa (Tony), Andrea (Steve), and Matthew (Colleen). As a mother, she was fiercely protective, endlessly caring, and always our best cheerleader.
When her children grew older and started their own families, that rooted from the loving foundation that she planted, her greatest joy came from being a grandmother to her six grandchildren - Chase, Tyler, Deacon, Piper, Talon, and Ronan. She was their biggest admirer, their safe place, and their source of endless love.
Patty showed her love in so many ways with lots of hugs, dedicated support, and especially through her cooking. She filled our lives with delicious meals and beautiful holiday gatherings, where the table was overflowing with food and love. She knew how to enjoy life by sharing cold beer(s) with friends, heading to the casino to play slots, or just laughing with her loved ones.
When Patty was not spending her time with her family and friends (or babysitting her grandkids and grand-dogs), she dedicated many years of her life working at Beaumont (Corewell) Hospital, where her incredible work ethic, compassion, and kindness left a lasting impact.
Her absence leaves an unfillable void, but her love, energy, and legacy will live on in our hearts, and the hearts of all who knew her, FOREVER.
The family will greet guests from 9:30am until time of memorial service at 1:00pm on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at Edward Swanson & Son Funeral Home, 30351 Dequindre Rd., Madison Heights, Michigan.
Fond memories and condolences may be offered to the family via the online guestbook.
