Patricia McKENZIE Obituary
May 6, 1943 - January 12, 2013
To all my friends,
You are all so special to me and because of this, I want to let you know that on Saturday, January 12, it was my time to leave you and I will miss you all so very much. My entire family was with me to say goodbye so I couldn't have asked for anything more. So that we may say our own personal farewells, I hope you can join the family in the coming weeks for a Celebration of Memories. Bye for now. So that we may contact you about the Celebration details, please email the family at [email protected] or feel free to call the house. Condolences may be forwarded by visiting www.leydens.com.

Peter I just heard the sad news of the loss of your friend and partner Pat. My sincere and deepest condolences to you and all your family. I have a small piece of her with us - a beautiful white paper angel which she had made many years ago and which holds a special place among our traditional Christmas decoration. It will now take centre stage among my angels!
Love and bear hugs, Delphine and Walter Jamieson

Dear My Very Fine Friend, Claire, Your loss and your families loss is tremendous. You have had to make decisions far too early in your life. Pat made everyone laugh. If not at themselves, then her. Huge loss for the family. Thinking of you in particular.

Dear Peter and extended family members - my heart goes out to you all in the loss of Pat : wife, mom, grandmother and friend. Pat fought a brave fight that many of us...myself included could or would not not have fought - what a brave and lovely woman - this excerpt from a poem written by Dylan Thomas says it all "Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light" my thoughts and prayers are with you Peter - take care, Shirley Tennant - City of Calgary

It was shortly after arriving in Calgary in 1979 and teaming up with Peter in the City Planning Department that I met Pat. My first reaction was "WOW"! "What a ball of energy! What a live wire! What boundless gusto! It's people like this that make life fun and interesting." The memories Pat leaves us are endearing and indelible. Even now, at this time of such sadness, I can't help but smile when I think of Pat in a crowd, in her prime, talking up a storm, laughing at life's oddities and galvanizing those around her. Pat, thank you for being you. You elevated many lives and you will be greatly, greatly missed.
