Patricia John Obituary
Pat married John Tabor in 1953, and they welcomed their daughter Robyn in 1955. After her divorce, Pat and Robyn moved with her parents and siblings to California in 1959 for job opportunities in the aerospace industry. For 36 years Pat served as an Executive Secretary for the Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, California. During this time she took up square dancing.
Pat married Dave John in 1980 and moved to Orange. Together 28 years, they enjoyed RV camping with friends, golfing, cooking and family get togethers. When they retired, they moved to Canyon Lake, California. They enjoyed their retired life by going on RV trips, cruises, and spending time with friends.
As a Christian, Pat was an active member of Canyon Lake Community Church for many years with the Pricilla Circle and Bible Studies. She was a member of the Red Hat Society and the Lady Elks Auxiliary. She enjoyed Friday nights with her small group of believers, hosted by her good friend and hairdresser, Debbie and her husband Gary.
She is survived by her daughter Robyn (John) and granddaughter Taylor, as well as stepdaughter Lois, stepson Jim (Lori), stepdaughter Maureen as well as 10 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Dave (2008), her parents Pete and Ann, her sisters Annette and Karen, stepson David, and stepdaughter Linda.
We would like to thank her precious caregivers, Leslie Cordero and Peggy Martinez for making Patricia's last few years so meaningful.
Services will be held at 11:00 am on September 27, 2025, at Canyon Lake Community Church, 30515 Railroad Canyon Rd.
