Patsy Shill Obituary
age 75, was born on January 15, 1936, in Mesa, Arizona, to Richard Nelson and Kate Patterson Nelson. She passed away April 12, 2011 after a long battle with breast cancer. She met and married Victor Lamar Shill and they recently celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary. Patsy was preceded in passing by both parents and an older sister Shirley Nelson Kleiner. She is survived by two brothers Duane and Dennis Nelson, her husband Victor Lamar Shill and four sons, Mike, Wayne, Mark, Curt and daughter Tracy Shill Jensen, their spouses, 18 grandchildren and 12 great-grand children. With sadness we mourn her loss, with joy we remember her humor, courage, strength, gracefulness, wisdom, love and mostly her smile. Her passion for life will live within us always.
