GEDDES, Patricia Elizabeth October 25, 1930 - October 30, 2018 On Tuesday, October 30, 2018, Mrs. Patricia Elizabeth Geddes of Oliver passed away peacefully with her family by her side at the South Okanagan General Hospital after a battle with leukemia at the age of 88 years. Patricia will be fondly remembered by her loving family including her husband Michael Geddes; her children Judy, William, Jill, and Kevin; her grand- children Helen, Alice, Thomas, Melissa, James, Nick, Zander and Sarah; and her great-grandchildren Josephine and Arlo as well as her brother Mac Brown. Patricia attended St. Felix School, Southwold, Suffolk, England before going to secretarial college in London. There she worked for a publisher before moving to Jesus College, Cambridge in early 1950 to be a secretary where she met Michael Geddes in 1951. She married Michael on October 1, 1955 at Remenham Church, Henley and was married for 63 years. Patricia came to Canada in November 1957 on a boat from Liverpool, arriving in Montreal before catching a train across Canada to Vancouver with her nine month old daughter. Michael and Pat had 3 more children and made their home in West Vancouver for 56 years. She moved to Oliver, BC 4 years ago to be near both her daughter, Jill and husband, Michael; now in a home suffering from Alzheimer's. She travelled the world with her husband. She particularly enjoyed hiking in Europe. In the early days Patricia volunteered her time at her husband's many field hockey and cricket events. She loved sport - she played tennis and golf and was a member of the masters swim team at Hollyburn Club, West Vancouver for several years. Latterly she enjoyed watching soccer (English football) and other sports on TV. Her other hobbies included gardening, knitting, cooking and reading. She was a member of the West Van United Church.

I met Pat while swimming at the Hollyburn. I admired her 'can do' spirit and her resolve during personal challenges - an inspiration and example for all of us. I will fondly remember the time I spent helping Pat prepare her Southborough home's garden for her upcoming move. She was a lovely lady and will be dearly missed. My condolences to her family.
