Patricia Karen Shaw, 76, passed away peacefully on October 6, 2025, in her cherished home on Barnes Lake in Deerfield Township, Michigan, surrounded by the love and comfort she cultivated throughout her life.
Born on April 13, 1949, to Robert and Helen Shaw, Patricia dedicated her life to compassion, service, and unwavering love. Her career was spent helping children with cystic fibrosis-work that allowed her to touch countless lives through her deep empathy, tireless advocacy, and professionalism.
For 26 beautiful years, Patricia shared a deep and abiding love with her husband, Jim Lee. Together, they built a life grounded in laughter, support, and devotion. She was a proud and loving mother to Noah and Jesse, and a loving and supportive stepmother to Jamie and Kelly. Patricia adored her three grandchildren, whose lives were enriched by her warmth and wisdom.
Her family extended beyond people-Patricia was also a devoted dog mom to Bella, Rosie, and Teddy, who brought her joy and companionship every day.
Patricia will be remembered for her gentle spirit, generous heart, and the quiet strength with which she navigated the world.
She is survived by her husband Jim Lee; her children, Noah (Laura) and Jesse; stepdaughters Jamie (Danny) and Kelly (Nelson); three grandchildren Reilly, Seaton, and Olivia. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Patricia, please visit our Tree Store.
