Patricia R. Ganson, age 81, passed away on Saturday, November 1, 2025. She was born on September 7, 1944, to Earnest and Esther (Seery) Dahlman in Muskegon, MI, where she remained a lifelong resident. Patricia graduated from high school and went on to earn her master's degree in remedial reading from Western Michigan University. On August 17, 1984, she married the love of her life, Clark Ganson, in Muskegon. Together, they shared 41 wonderful years filled with laughter and love. She was a woman of many interests and talents. She enjoyed sewing, reading, and gardening, and she especially loved spending time with Clark, taking peaceful walks along the beach. Patricia will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. She is survived by her three children, Paul Ganson, Brian Ganson and Thomas Ganson; two grandchildren, Laura Ganson and Anton Ganson; and many dear friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Clark Ganson; and special aunt, Ruth Seery. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
