Patricia was born on June 11, 1945, to Richard and Violet Schultz in Detroit, Michigan. For over thirty years, Pat worked for the United States Army TACOM as a budget analyst before retiring in 2005. Pat was a truly amazing mother and grandmother. In 1989, Pat married the love of her life, Jim Clare, in a beautiful ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada. In her free time, Pat loved to golf, go to the casino, and listen to music of all sorts. She and Jim traveled all around the US and the world in retirement. Pat never missed an opportunity to cheer on her grandchildren at all their athletic events, and was an avid supporter of the Detroit sports teams.
Pat will be forever remembered by all who knew and loved her as a passionate spirit with a love of life.
Beloved wife of James Clare; cherished mother of Michelle Jaster, and Jeffrey (Jeanette) Jaster; loving stepmother of Jerome Clare, and John Clare; proud grandmother of Joshua, Joseph, Jennifer, Jason, Krystin, Garrin, Paytin, Logan, Liam, and Lucas; cherished sister of Sue (Leonard) Lipinski.

I first met Pat when I was assigned to The Ordnance Tank Automotive Command (now TACOM) as a Lieutenant, US Army. in 1962 when she worked in the Research and Development Directorate. She was my wife's cousin (Eleanore Trzcinski) We double-dated with my roommate, Ed, a few times. She was a very attractive young secretary just out of high school. I saw her a few times again after I retired from the army and began working at TACOM. She was always a wonderful person to talk to.

Pat was a very dear friend of mine. I worked with Pat for many years; she was always there to help and offered great advice. We enjoyed good times together and she helped me thru some difficult family losses. I will truly miss her and her beautiful smile. RIP my dear friend.
