Pat Miller Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province from Jun. 27 to Jun. 28, 2009.

MILLER Pat (Waybourne) It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Patricia Miller, 63, who died peacefully at home surrounded by those who loved her on June 16, 2009. Born June 5, 1946, Pat grew up in Langley and spent most of her life here in the town she loved. She was a very special person, a wonderful mother and wife and will be greatly missed by those lucky enough to have known her. She was predeceased by her first husband, Jim Waybourne in 1989 but was fortunate to find love again and is survived by her husband of 16 years Ken Miller. She also leaves behind daughter Paula (Scott) and son Jim (Kate), and granddaughters Jamie and Jenna who brought her so much joy. Pat was an avid bowler for over 35 years; she was ferociously competitive whether it was playing cards or bowling in the Nationals. She loved animals, sports and camping and we hope she is kickin' back at the lake and relaxin', because no one deserved it more than she did. She will remain forever and always in our hearts, `til we meet again. A Celebration of Pat's Life will be held July 5, 2009 at 1 p.m. at Newlands Golf and Country Club, 21025 48th Avenue, Langley. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Pat's name to the Langley SPCA.

Hi. My name is Sonya (St-Amand) Gulbransen. Many years ago, I bowled with and against Pat. I was "the new kid on the block" and she was one of the first bowlers who welcomed me and made me feel relaxed and comfortable within the group. I will always remember her friendly face and positive comments. I send my sincere apologies for not attending the service as I just found out at 6:30 p.m. today. I send my heartfelt sympathy and enormous hugs to all of her family and close friends. Pat... you will be missed by many! Love: Sonya, Noel and family xoxo

My deepest condolences to Pat's family.
I have never bowled with Pat, it was always against her. We were bowling friends & fierce competitors. The bowling family has lost another.

Please accept our deepest condolences in your loss of Patty. We were so sorry to hear that Pat was so very sick. I have a lot of fond memories of bowling with her in Nigara Falls, and many Masters teams she was a lot of fun and was always smiling.

With our deepest condolences. Pat will alway's be remembered as a great competitor. I had the privilege of bowling with Pat at Shellmont lanes. She was always encouraging and upbeat no matter how bad the bowling was going. The bowling community has lost a star.

Precious thoughts encompass me, as I always remember Patty returning to her home team with that special smile and enthusiasm, no matter what ball she threw in life, be it in her bowling or challenging the moments of her life.
Special thoughts to her family, and trust the good memories will shine as an example for us all.

You always knew where you stood with Patty. She had a great personality, quick wit and a great sense of humour. I will forever and always remember our gambling trips to Reno. It was truly an honour to call her my friend.

Hello..My name is Bobbi Johnson. Pat and I were neighbours and friends in the early 60's. I met her before she had Paula and Jim and remember them as sweet little kids. Pat and I had a lot in common and enjoyed each others company. We shared the same likes and bowled together often. Somehow over the years our lives took different directions and we lost touch.I thought of her so often. What a great sadness
this is to me. Condolences to all of you who Pat's live affected.
