Patricia "Pat" Ann Dorobiala passed away at her home in the early morning of November 3rd, 2025.
Pat was born to Ralph and Lorraine (Lipscomb) Mayle in Chicago, IL, on April 1, 1951.
Pat worked for a number of years in food service at a nursing home in Osseo, and then in the library at Lincoln High School in Alma Center, WI.
She loved nature and anything outdoors, whether that be long drives admiring the local scenery, enjoying a campfire with her family, or appreciating wildlife, especially eagles, which were her favorite. Pat liked nothing more than to experience these things with her family, whom she loved above all else.
Pat is survived by her daughters; Lorrie A. Burch (Chad) and Amy D. Mayle, her life partner Danny Crowe, her brother and sister; Rodney Mayle and Sandy Ikhtiari (Jack), her beloved grandchildren; Nicole Sanders (John), Mariah Sanders (Reece), and Brandon Sanders, her great-grandchildren Wyatt, Landyn, Gunner, Brinnley, Kaia, and Harlee, and several nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Ralph Mayle and Lorraine Mayle, her son Robbie Dorobiala, and her brothers Ralph and Rick Mayle.
A funeral service will be held on Friday, November 7th, 2025, at the Buswell Funeral Home in Black River Falls, WI. Friends are invited to visit from 1:00 p.m. until the time of the service at 2:00 p.m. Reverend Terry Marg to officiate.
