Patty Berlin Obituary
11/16/1941 ~ 2/17/2016
Mt. Pleasant, UT-Patricia Chloe Heath Freeman Berlin, loving wife, mother and grandmother was taken from us on February 17, 2016.
Patty was born on November 16, 1941 to Emmett and Minnie (Jackie) Heath in SLC, Utah. She was raised in a happy home, a home that was normally on the road during weekends which lead to many fond memories.
Patty graduated from Olympus High School in Salt Lake City in 1960, she then attended the University of Utah and worked in the physics department there as well. She loved it! She worked at the Pyramid in My Pleasant and enjoyed it very much.
She married Lynn Freeman and together they had a son, Russell. Later divorced. On August 29, 1980 she married the love of her life, Jim Berlin in Ely, Nevada.
Patty ultimately achieved her dream of moving to a small town and owning a farm at the edge of Mt Pleasant with her husband, Jim. Patty loved animals and farming. She took in and raised many animals like all stray dogs, bummer lambs requiring bottle feeding and birds of all sorts. She gave them a better life than we could ask for. She was well known in the community for her pepper farm which she harvested and bottled every year. The demand for her peppers were greater than she could produce. She would help anyone in need without question and would give to charity regularly. Patty had many great friends whom she talked of and to on a regular basis. Those that knew her were well aware of her independence and how she was intimidated by no one.
Patty was the greatest partner, spouse, friend and confidant that anyone could be lucky enough to know.
Preceeded in death by her parents, sister Claudia, Sister in law Holly Heath and too many friends to count. Survived by her Husband Jim, son Russell Freeman, brother Emmett Heath and sister Ellen (Kevin) Barney. Also survived by her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Let's not forget her dogs, Freight, Shorty and Gus Gus.
Patty requested no services but asked that all reflect on life, like in the movie " The Big Chill"
Thank you to the friends who visited her in a time of need, and thank you to the medical staff that provided care to her.

Precious Patty, a trooper to the end. Berlin, my heart goes out to you. Don't we love the sound of Patty's laughter? That woman was ready for anything. I'm grateful for the time I was afforded with you these last years, months, days, minutes. We picked up right where we left off, just like any family member. You will remain in my heart forever. Stay strong, Berlin. You've made Patty proud. Patty, it's your turn to CIP.

Everyone who knew Patty remarked on her work ethic. Whether hauling water from the creek or busting bails of hay for numerous critters or helping brand cattle she kept things working for years while Jim was on the road. From Emily Dickinson: "Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality."

Jim, we send our sincere condolences. As you know Bill & I treasure your friendship and that of your dear wife, Patty. Though it has been years,,,I have the greatest memories of Patty and I talking for hours after everyone went on home following wasatch get togethers, sitting in lawn chairs by the gazebo!! She was soooo kind, yet perfectly frank, laughed easily, and was a very interesting wonderful lady:) I treasure those special moments. We shared admiration for Jim, yummy pickled peppers, laughter, some common views and philosophies, along with our passion for family, animals and our winged friends:). She is not suffering any longer and that is reason to be grateful, though your heartache and missing her presence is overwhelming, especially at this time. Jim we treasure you! ... Dear Patty, Rest in Peace and may God Bless YOU and hold you in the warmth of his ever loving arms, Love, The Bedfords
