Patricia Gahn Obituary

Gahn, Patricia Ann (nee Bramley) age 81, passed away November 13, 2011, with her family by her side in Cumming, GA. Services: A private memorial service will be held at the Sunset Hill Cemetery in Glen Carbon, IL. She was born January 24, 1930, in Granite City, IL to Marvin and Helen Bramley. Her father was in the automobile business in St. Louis, MO for over 50 years and her mother a homemaker. Patricia lived her early years in the Granite City and South St. Louis area until she met and married Henrik Gahn. After their marriage in 1954, the couple moved to Northern California (San Mateo & San Jose) and later lived in Texas, Missouri, and Indiana before finally settling to the Atlanta, GA area in 2001 to be close to their son and daughterin-law. Over the years Pat was an active member of the many Presbyterian Churches she belonged to across the country. Her greatest passion was being with her family & pets and she loved the many travels taken with family members throughout her lifetime. She was both a wonderful wife and mother who always displayed a loving touch. Patricia is survived by her loving husband Hank; son Rick; and daughter-in-law Emily.
