Publish in a newspaper
She was born on November 19, 1935, in Topeka, Kansas, to Neil and Gladys (Goldsmith) Haney. She spent her childhood in Kansas, Arizona, and Utah, attending four different high schools before graduating from Topeka High School in 1953. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Education from Manhattan Christian College in 1962.
While attending MCC, Pat met Bruce Smith. The two were married on August 28, 1955. Bruce began his ministry the very next Sunday, eventually serving as a minister for 55 years.
Pat worked in retail and also served as a church secretary. She had a deep love for music-she played the piano, sang, and performed with English handbell choirs in various groups. She also enjoyed participating in bowling and volleyball leagues throughout her life.
She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Bruce and her brother David Haney.
She is survived by daughters, Lisa (Kevin) Ingram, of Manhattan, KS, and Stacy (Kurt) Mortensen, of Oklahoma City, OK. Also, her sisters in law, Virginia Mathews, and Carol Haney; her six grandchildren, Lauren (Nic) Ingram Evans, Tyler and Ashley Ingram, Chelsey (Derek) Mortensen Franco, Paige Mortensen, Widsherine Mortensen Ventura, and Gentry (Jakob)Mortensen Tangney; and eight great granddaughters.
Services will be held on Saturday July 5, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. at the Crestview Christian Church, 3940 Excel Road in Manhattan.
