Patricia Ann Bone

     Patricia was known for her love of fashion and glamour. Her hair was always perfectly fixed and styled with the latest trends. She had a particular affinity for bling, shiny, sparkly things and would light up any room she entered. She devoted her time teaching anyone who was willing to learn how to use a sewing machine and cut a pattern to create their own garments. Patricia took immense pride in creating candles that brought warmth and light into people's homes. These skills that she taught were just one example of her love towards acts of service.

    Patricia was an absolute delight to be around during her lifetime. She loved having her family over and laughing over all the silly things in life. Patricia enjoyed hosting family parties filled with good food and laughter since laughter was always the best medicine in her world. She coordinated fall festivals at church and enjoyed being a member of the Ladies Sodality; this is where Patricia found solace knowing that God had sent her beautiful friends who provided unconditional support.

    She was preceded in death by her mother, Lucy DeClue; In-laws, Mary Catherine and Jesse Bone; brothers-in-law, Bill Bone, Ed Politte; uncle, Luke DeClue, special aunt and uncle, Nellie and Andrew Welker and special son, Kevin Thebeau. 

    Patricia had a unique personality that shone through everything—from the way she spoke to her favorite hobbies such as cooking; she did everything with passion. Her memory will forever stay in our hearts as a shining light who touched all of our lives.
