Patricia Tondu Obituary
Arcadia, MI
July 19, 1942 - September 10, 2023
Patricia Ann Tondu, of Arcadia, passed away September 10, 2023, after a short illness. Pat had been a homemaker, and a hairdresser most of her life. She was exceptionally social and friendly, finding joy in gatherings of all kinds. Family get-togethers were filled with music, dancing and card games, they happened weekly and would often carry on well into the night. The flowers she grew in sprawling gardens around the home were her passion. Her green thumb was next to none, and often she would share the wealth of her plants with friends and family. She was a gentle soul, with a sense of humor, viewing the world as few others do. She is missed immensely by her family. Survived by her husband Stephen; children David (Margie) Tondu, Kimberly Ann Wittlieff (Rory Russell) and Jeffrey (Renee) Tondu; grandchildren Andrea and Elizabeth Tondu, Kristin (Nic) Brunnegraff, Collin Wittlieff, Austin and Andrew Tondu; great grandchildren Reid, Finn and Owen Brunnegraff; siblings Dave Miller and Pam Valrance. A celebration gathering of Pat's life will be Saturday, September 23, from 5:00pm to 8:00 pm at Jowett Family Funeral Home, Benzonia.
