We celebrate the life of Patricia, a woman of strong faith and devotion to family, who died February 10th, 2018 at the age of 95. The youngest of eight children born to William and Mary (Ford) Chambers in Miles City, MT, Patricia grew up in New England, ND where she was valedictorian of St. Mary's High School class of 1941. Patricia attended Seattle College before joining Boeing during the War. She married William Gorjance in 1955 and quit Boeing to become a full-time homemaker. They built a beautiful home in Tukwila where they raised their family. William and Patricia traveled the world and enjoyed many symphony and opera performances together. In addition to her husband, Patricia leaves behind her children William, Mary (Robert Winship), and Vincent (Lauren Osmolski), and her grandchildren Luke, Sophia, Genevieve, and Nathan. Her daughter Theresa predeceased her.
