She was preceded in death by her parents, Eugene and Beatrice Baum; her husband, Gene; and her sister, Wendy.

Pat will be dearly missed. We became friends through my cleaning for her. We talked about all kinds of things and she would share stuff that she watched on facebook. Talked a lot about her grand and great grand babies. She was a wonderful lady and will be missed. I´m sure she is finally at peace with her husband. My condolences to the family. I know you all have lots of great memories to cherish. God Bless you all.

so sorry to see that Pat has passed. We were in the same class at Whitmer graduating in 1954. We also shared the same birthdate, May 29, 1936. I am sure she will be missed by all her family. Condolences to Gene.
