Patricia Ann Rakow

Patricia Ann Rakow finished her mortal run on January 14, 2009 and is now with her parents Edward and Myrel Rakow and her beloved Auntie Maude.  Pat, born on September 4, 1948, grew up in Portland, Oregon.
However, after graduation from Portland State University, she caught the wanderlust bug and traveled the west coast working in places from Bend, Oregon to Sitka, Alaska.  When not on the move, she loved working with her horses in Arlington, Washington. 
 
Pat will be greatly missed by her cousin Harry Russell, his wife Martha, and their son Sean as well as numerous friends.  A celebration of her life will be held on August 1st (Pat's favorite time of year) at her good friend's home in Mt. Vernon.  Please call Kathy Shea at 360-424-8848 or Shirley Ellison 425-788-0659 for directions. Donations in Pat’s name may be made to the American Cancer Society or Children’s Hospital of Seattle.
