I first met Pat and Qwyn in 1969 when they moved next door to our family on Lafayette street.
I was 12 years old at the time, and they asked my mom if I could babysit their two boy, Tommy and Brian.
My mom said I could because she'd be right next door if I needed her. That started many years of my baby sitting the boys. I became like part of the family, and Pat, Gwyn, and I got along great. I always thought quite highly of their family, and grew very fond of the boys.
Pat was a great mom, wife, and friend. I have many fond memories of my teenage years and baby sitting Tommy and Brian. Pat will be greatly missed by all who knew, and loved her. My thoughts and prayers go out to Qwyn, Tommy, Brian, and her daughter in laws, and her grandkids.
Nogar family we will keep you all in are prayers.

My sister, Patty, was the most beautiful child. She grew up on our grandparents' farm, where she learned to cherish all animals, but especially cats. At 19, she had the extreme good luck to find her soulmate, Gwyn. Their lives were defined by family, community and church fellowship, loving parenting, many adventures, and dedication to hard work. After they moved to Michigan and I moved out west, we did not often see each other in person, but we stayed in touch via letters, photos, and calls throughout the years. I last saw her and her bevy of cats in 2019. I am happy I got to speak to her on her most recent birthday, April 17, 2025. Over the years, Patty had quite a few medical issues, but she never let them break her spirit. Her hobbies were knitting and crocheting, and she leaves behind many beautiful creations. Her kitties were everything to her and she had a heart full of love for her children, and her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Patty leaves behind a lifetime of service, creativity, and laughter. I will miss her ironic sense of humor and her spirit of inclusiveness towards all creatures on earth.
