Patricia McCracken Obituary

Patricia McCracken, age 86, of Healdsburg, California, passed away on March 20, 2024 in her home in Healdsburg, California. She grew up and lived in Healdsburg where she met her husband Richard.

They had three children: Allison Adele, Marc Richard and Melanie Mae.
Patricia volunteered for a few years at the Healdsburg Museum where she handled the obituaries and sewed tags on dolls. She retired early from Bank of America, then went to work for Silveira Pontiac Dealership here in Healdsburg until she retired from there.

She took care of the neighborhood she lived in, making sure everything was just so and keeping an eye on people's homes while they were away. She fed many stray cats, even bringing some in to be seen by vets from time to time out of her own pocket. She always made neighbors feel comfortable taking her lemons in the backyard, and she loved the little ones next door and across the street from her.

She is survived by her youngest daughter Melanie, her only grandchild Suezane, and her best friend Margaret.
