Patricia Gamelin Obituary
Born on Dec. 12, 1951, in Forest Lake, Minnesota, she was the daughter of the late Milton and Donna (Waite) Gamelin.
Her life was marked by a dedication to service, evident in her 30-year tenure with the IRS and a deep commitment to her community and family.
Patricia graduated from Hinsdale South High School in 1970 and attended Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois. Her career was distinguished by her dedication and integrity, traits that defined her both professionally and personally.
A lifelong member of the First Presbyterian Church of Mountain Home, Patricia's faith was a cornerstone of her existence, guiding her through her life's endeavors and challenges.
Patricia's passions included gardening and quilting. She cherished her garden, especially the azaleas she nurtured with great care. Inspired by a longtime friend, she took up quilting, crafting beautiful quilts that became treasured gifts for her loved ones.
Her family remembers her as a loving and devoted sister, aunt and stepmother.
She is survived by her brother Jerry (Elizabeth) Gamelin; sister Connie Gamelin; nephews Joe and Brandon Gamelin; nieces Emily Gamelin and Gillian Schweighardt and stepdaughters Tiffany Buckels, Brittany Buckels and Lacie Buckles-Bruick, along with their families.
Patricia was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Rodger Buckels and her two beloved Pug dogs, Susie Q and Peggy Sue.

Pat and I went to high-school together a LONG time ago. We also lived down the street from each other in Darien, Illinois. We spent lots of time together and we both worked in downtown Chicago as key-punch operators back in the late 60's. It seems like a lifetime ago, it was. Pat also dated my brother for a bit. We kept in touch on Facebook through the years. However our high-school time together is forever a special part of my life.
Condolences to her family. Sincerely, Cathy Brunsman Small
