Dora Patrick Obituary
1933-2020
Salt Lake City, Utah-Dora Renee Lawley Patrick
Renee Patrick passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 18, 2020,
after braving several weeks of illness following a broken hip. Renee
was born November 28, 1933, in Salt Lake City, the youngest of five
daughters born to Lorenzo Lawley and Dora Pettey Lawley. She
graduated from South High School, Class of 1952. Renee married Harry
W. (Pat) Patrick on June 14, 1957. Renee is survived by H. W.
Patrick, sister Norma Roylance (Pittsbugh, PA), step-brother Jack
(Janice) Morgan, son Brian T. Patrick, daughters Cathleen (Eric)
Peterson, Marianne (Matt) Bronniman, grandchildren Nicholas (Linda)
Spencer, Abbigail and Sebastian Peterson, Clara Hawkes (Ryan) and
Miquelle Bagley, six great grandchildren, many loving nieces and
nephews, and her sweet cat, Daisy. Renee always wanted to be a
mother, and she found great joy in her family and friends, her work
at a design center and as a wedding planner, her volunteer work at
the Hogle Zoo and 30 years at the St. Marks Hospital reception desk,
decorating her lovely home, and cheering on the Utah Jazz. A limited

Renee and my mother, Marian McFarlin, were good friends and I touched base with Renee a few times after mom's passing. Mom thought the world of Renee and we became acquainted after Renee adopted my kitten, Winnie, when we were forced to re-home her. I will always have fond memories of Renee.

I was saddened to read of Renee's passing. We lived at the same condominium complex and served on the management committee together. Renee was a beautiful person inside and out. I admired her soft-spoken demeanor and kind, outgoing personality. Heaven gained a beautiful angel.

The memories of beautiful, caring, thoughtful, Renee will bring tender joy to us all, family and friends. It was my pleasure to share service at St Marks, travels and lunches with our shift for many years. My condolences to her special daughters and son and families.
