Patti RICKETTS Obituary


RICKETTS, Patti
June 25, 1953 - December 12, 2017

Patti Ricketts, beloved wife and mother of two and Spokane native, passed away due to complications from cancer. She is survived by her husband, Tom, and daughters, Kathryn and Kimberly. Born in Spokane and one of 12 children, Patti was a kind soul who listened to anyone, provided solace to all and opened her door to any person in need. She is greatly missed and her words of wisdom will continue to live on for years to come. No funeral services will be held as Patti asked only for a humble, private moment of mourning.

Words will never be enough to Express how much I loved my sister. She was so many things to me.
This last year you gave me the gift of taking this journey with you and allowing me to be by your side.
You taught me courage , humility and mostly love.
You gifted me with what it means to be a sister. I promise to use this lesson to love all of our family in your honor.
