Patricia Van Pelt

Jim, my husband, and I bought the Lake Superior House from Peter and Patricia. We inherited the color pencils that she bought in so many places. Every time I use them I feel like she is with me. It is a pleasant feeling. Many corners of the house remind me of her even though I never met her. All of the good things she did will live forever.

Patricia made such a difference in the lives of the people of Keweenaw and Eagle Harbor. I dont think anyone could have matched her dedication and love for the Pine Mountain music festival and the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse historical Society. Her passion for the arts and the love of life that she shared with her neighbors in the Copper country Is a gift that will be in the hearts of all of us for the rest of our lives. Patricia and Peter did so much for the lighthouse historical society and...

Pat was a lovely, warm person and I am sorry for your loss. Our paths crossed in the Keweenaw where we shared an appreciation for fine art. She was a great lady.

Thank you for enthusiastically introducing us to the Copper Country book world. Our condolences to Peter and family.

Very sorry for your lost

Lots of treasured memories of such a wonderful person caring creative Happy memories of my childhood growing up with my brother special times that were shared.The loving support I was given when my mum passed birthdays & Christmas. Will always live in our hearts never forgotten. I will miss you very much. RIP dearest Pat. ❤Xx

Eagle Harbor has lost one of its most gracious citizens. My condolences to Peter and his family.

Our family had a very special relationship with Pat! The VanPelts have always been like family to me. Peter, we loved Pat and will remember her always!
I loved being able to ride my bicycle across the bay to either buy a book or two or to participate in many of the book talks at the shop.
Pat will be missed!
Love from the Kellows and MacKenzies

Peter, my deepest condolences. I loved Patricia's laugh and generosity. I am so glad to have known her and will always remember her in her lovely bookshop in the Keweenaw.
