Beloved mother, wife, aunt, and friend Patricia was born Nov 15th, 1938, in Kings New York. She passed on April 18th, 2020, from respiratory complications due to Coronavirus.
Vivacious, tenacious, and fiercely independent, Pat was a trailblazer. After divorcing her first husband in 1963 (which was uncommon at the time hovering around 3%), Pat set out as a single mother, with two children, working as an accountant for Bell Telephone. She made her way to Financial Controller at DAK Foods. It was at DAK, where she would meet her second husband, Vagn Noeddelund. They married July 8th, 1972, and spent many years together traveling the world, as well as spending time with friends and family. They moved to the Seattle area in 1990 and started a new business together selling supplies to the fishing industry. They moved to Edmonds Washington shortly after and lived there ever since. Pat was very active in the community with her gardening and grounds maintenance. In 2010 she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Having to surrender her independence, she was taken care of at home by her devoted husband Vagn for four years and eventually became a resident at Rosewood Courte Edmonds WA.
Pat loved traveling, cooking, gardening, skiing, going to the opera, shopping, and hiking. Pat and Vagn were avid art collectors. A world traveler, she had visited sites from Antarctica to the Amazon rainforest, experiencing six of the seven continents. She also loved a good political argument now and again. Pat came from a large family of ten children, four brothers, and five sisters. She is survived by her husband, two children, four grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, two brothers, and one sister, as well as many nieces and nephews.
