Patricia Bolinder Obituary
Patricia Ann (Loetterle) Bolinder, born Nov. 24, 1930, in Santa Ana, Calif., peacefully crossed over into God's Kingdom on July 8, 2008.
After attending Whittier Union High School, and Pasadena City College, she graduated from United Airlines Stewardess school in Wyoming, and flew for United Airlines for 2½ years.
Pat enjoyed traveling, exploring and experiencing all places and nature wherever she went. Her greatest love was being a wife and mother. She was a lapidarist, and for 23 years, co-owner with husband, David, of Pat's Gems and All Cape Craft Associates.
Pat is predeceased by her husband, former Harwich Police Lt. David T. Bolinder; her daughter, Jeanette (Bolinder) Williams; and her parents, Lillian (Toni) and Clarence (Dutch) Loetterle, initially from Ruskin and Deshler, Neb., and Whittier and Capistrano Beach, Calif.
Pat is survived by two daughters, Joyce Grace of Yarmouthport and Carrie Bolinder-LeClair of Rhode Island; a son, Richard Bolinder, of Falmouth; her sister, Beverly Ruthve, of San Diego; and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, in-laws, nephews, nieces, cousins and close friends from Tennessee, Nebraska, Oregon, California, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
A memorial service will be held at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Route 137, in Harwich, on Saturday, July 19, at 10 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Home Hospice Care of Rhode Island or the Alzheimer's Association.

Dear "mom", thank God that I was able to enjoy having you in my American life. We have shared such good times together in Maine, Rhode Island and on the Cape. I feel sad I was never able to say goodbye. Love, Danielle
