Private services are planned with interment at Sunset Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Billings Clinic Behavioral Clinic or the charity of one's choice.
Grandma, I want you to know how truly special you were to us. You will always be remembered for your thoughtfulness- how carefully you picked out gifts and cards, how you created art with every package you ever wrapped, and the extra touches you added to everything. You were always so neat and cute. I hope the others won't mind, but you were, and will always be, my favorite grandma...
Remembrances
Mark, Barbara and family: We extend our thoughts and prayers at this time of Pat’s passing. We’ll always first think of her at the ballgames with Gail, cheering for the Herders! We hope the happy memories of your mother and grandmother bring comfort at this time.
Dale and Beccy
