Ms. Patricia Gertrude Pearson passed away Thursday, December 19, 2024, at West Hickory Haven in Milford, Michigan. Age 61 years. She was born in Lansing, Michigan, the daughter of Fred Lee and Karel Alice Williams, on Sunday, September 8, 1963. 

Patricia last lived in White Lake, Michigan with her significant other, Phil Defauw. Their house was filled with 3 lovely dogs, and 7 lovely cats. Before being hospitalized, Patty loved more than anything to perform her comedy skits, be with her loved ones, and simply enjoy her day to day life with a strong, yet easygoing attitude. She used the same attitude to get her GED and eventually work in the law profession. Patty gave the best advice, encouraging others to stay strong and happy. She was the best mother, the best sister, and the best grandma.
