Patricia Rainier Obituary

Patricia Anne Rainier passed away peacefully in her home Friday evening July 29, 2017. A life time resident of Fort Lauderdale, born on October 8, 1940 at Broward General Hospital to Robert and Anne Rainier. A graduate of Central Catholic High School in 1958, she received a BA from Marquette University. She pursued her acting career in Hollywood with Warner Brothers Studio appearing in several episodes of 77 Sunset Strip, Adam 12 and GE True. She also had feature rolls in movies including Cocoon. A devote Catholic she was a member of St. Pius X Catholic Church. Patricia never met a stranger and lent her friendly smile and outgoing personality to everyone. She was a gifted and prolific writer, well known for her beautiful poetry. She wrote personalized poems for friends, relatives and upon request for clients. Every year, we looked forward to a beautiful Christmas Card printed with her original inspirational poem. She loved animals, always having a pet dog and cat along with befriending and feeding stray cats. Patricia leaves behind her loving companion, Jim Buckmore and many friends and relatives. "Until we meet again, may God hold you in the Palm of His Hand"

Wondered about Pat when no card received this year. So sorry to hear of her passing. My wife (now deceased) and I were friends for many years, and Patricia was our Maid of Honor at our wedding. Patricia wrote a heart felt poem of her friendship with my wife for my wife's funeral.
Will miss her free spirit and beautiful pig tails. God Bless you Patricia and hope you are with Christina, having fun...

Just saw the notice about Pat in the Spring 2018 issue of Marquette Magazine. Pat and I were sorority sisters (KBG) and fellow students at Marquette. Pat and my late husband Dan went to high school together at Central Catholic in Fort Lauderdale, and graduated in the same year. Pat was so accomplished and artistic, and so involved in the Theatre at Marquette. We enjoyed her lovely poem on the Christmas card she sent to us every year.
Rest in peace, Pat.
