PAT ASTONE Obituary

Patti was born on November 21, 1940. A retired special education teacher, master gardener, and deacon of Sanger Community Church, she went home to the Lord on November 12, 2014, at age 73. She is survived by her husband Bob "Bobby" Astone; mother, Florine Kyler; sisters, Margaret Hennesay and Jackie Lewis' five children, Heidi Kinzel, Scott Brooks, Debbie Condra, Mark Astone, and Rick Astone. She was "grandma Pat" to 15 grandchildren; and would have been a great-grandmother in April. The family she cherished remembers her qualities as those of a woman described in Scripture; always serving and encouraging others with loving words, bright eyes and a soft smile. A Celebration of her life will be held at Sanger Community Church on November 21, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Frontier Labourers for Christ, memo "barefoot doctors" program and sent to Sanger Community Church, 1610 Jensen Avenue Sanger, CA 93657.
