Patricia Citron Obituary
Pat was born and grew up in Durham, NC where she met the love of her life, and graduated from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in 1974. Pat eventually settled in Tucson in 1981 where she is survived by her husband of 49 years Dr Dennis Citron, son Aaron (Linda) of Denver, Co, daughter Rachel of Portland, Or, and 9 month old grandson Lumen Diego Citron-Mendez also of Denver.
Pat loved hiking Sabino Canyon, playing golf (2 career holes-in-one), and volunteering whenever needed. A lovely soul who will be sorely missed by many.

I am Ed Kunkel. My prior wife was Mary Kunkel. I met you, Dennis, on several occasions at the club. Mary and Pat used to play golf together and were friends. I was shocked to learn of Pat's passing. I had just walked with her before the holidays. She was so peppy and excited because Aaron and his family were going to be in town. I am remarried. My wife, Connie, also met and walked with Pat on several occasions and was impressed by her. Pat was a very special person. Please know you are remembered in our prayers. If you need anything, please call us. May God be with Pat, you and your family.

This was not part of our plan as we always believed we might walk in Sabino in our 80´s. She was a true friend and a kind and caring person. Dennis, Aaron, Rachel, Linda and Lumen we send you our sincere condolences, may she rest in peace.
