Patricia loved her family and friends. She spent many a day/week with her brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews in Pittsfield Illinois, gathering around the kitchen table sharing stories was a favorite past time. And oh, those stories!!!!!

She and the love of her life Bill Marksbury would travel to Bagley Wisconsin almost every weekend to camp and fish with numerous friends. Telling stories around the campfire were their favorite things. Many memories for all of us to hear about later in the years.

Pat was deep in her faith, she prayed and read her bible daily, she loved Psalm 23 as her “go to” verse.

As an avid Chicago Cub fan, her son Greg took here to Wrigley Field for a few games and you could hear her cheering the team on and signing with Harry Caray.

Greg and her daughter in law Diana took her on several vacations to Lake of the Ozarks, Mexico and cruises to the Bahama’s. Pat enjoyed the beaches and loved the specialty drinks.

She was a member of the East End Bolders Club, Friends Circle and an active member of Memorial Christian Church.

Her grandchildren Jason and Justin Ogle were the love of her life. Going out to lunch and spending time with them made her smile.

Pat cherished her friends and family and loved life.
