She worked for Ma-Bell her whole career starting as a telephone operator and later as a technical service lead. Patricia's strong Catholic faith gave her great purpose in life to support St. John's Catholic Church in Fenton by volunteering in the Parish office, singing in the St. John's choir, and financially supporting St. John's many activities. She loved her friendship with Father Harvey. Patricia will be best remembered for her carefree attitude, love of the Detroit Tigers, and her red convertibles. Patricia lived life to its fullest cruising around in her Volkswagen Beetle, PT cruiser and Ford Mustang convertibles. All who were in Patricia's life were touched by an amazingly strong and kind woman. She was an active participant in her Red Hat High Tea lunches with friends Phyllis Davis, Sandy Tryles, Sally Fumich, and Eleanor Dembny. She was happiest surrounded by her family and friends while attending operas, plays, going for coffee at the Big Boy, and having High tea at the Holly Hotel. Patricia was youthful her entire life and always wanted to be with young adults and children. We thank all the young adults and children who continued to be friends and help Patricia as she matured into her senior years. Patricia was a 20-year survivor of cancer and celebrated life every day. She was preceded in death by her sister Dorothy Weitzel, her mother Cecelia, and father Felix.
