Patricia Sipe
Patricia Ann Sipe born in Helena, MT May 3,1932, passed away peacefully on May 21,2013 at age of 81. She graduated from Kent Meridian High School in 1950.
Survived by her loving family, husband of 61 years Clifford Leroy Sipe, daughter Cathy Sipe (Bob Kasper), son James (Marybeth Sipe), grandchildren Dedra Ann (Matt Brascher), Christina (John Hofer), Justin (Jenny Sipe), their mother Debbie (Rob Smith), six great grandchildren, brother Richard (Patricia McCluskey), and sister Beverly (Don Schmit), numerous nieces, nephew, cousins, and extended family. Preceded in death by her mother Ann McCluskey.
Pat was an avid and extraordinary master gardener and enjoyed camping and traveling. Nature was her church, yardening was her life, and her children, grands and greats were her garden of life. She took pride in doing, not owning. She’d nurture creativity, celebrate simple things and lovingly and often humorously make anything beautiful. For years, she researched ancestry, doing others before hers. She was generous, caring, talented, determined and had a unique sense of humor.
Family would like to thank the staff at Canterbury House in Auburn for their generous, thoughtful and loving care. Patricia grew up on Street of Heroes before it was Street of Heroes and will rest in peace at Tahoma National Cemetery with a service and also Celebration of Life to be determined at later date.
