Born, November 4, 1944 and died, August 3, 2024.

So many years of good times together with husband, Donald G. Vonk, from age 15 to ages 79 and 80, married for 59 years. Two children, Donald Robb Vonk and Lisa Jean (Vonk) Randall. Also two grandchildren, Brett M. Randall and Patricia Jean Randall. She cherished us all and loved passionately and unconditionally.

Patricia was a great partner with husband, Donald G., ensuring his continued college education and motivation through her support to achieve many good things for the family. Many sacrifices were made along her journey, including forgoing her own college education to be a wife and mother and ultimately a grandmother. She had may talents and worked hard at home and in several part time jobs of interest to her over time. She was abandoned  by both her mother and father at age 9, leaving her to live with her grandmother and two aunts. She met Don at age 15 and they became a mutual support team.

Patricia had many health issues later in her life and suffered  much, God saw, as we did, that she was getting tired. We all did our best to help. Then God came at this time to embrace her and said: Come to Me. Her faiths in God never wavered! We watched tearfully these past years and most recent weeks and saw her pass peacefully away in the early morning hours while sleeping. A wonderful heart stopped beating as she finally laid at rest.

God has taken the best Wife, Mother, Grandmother and friend to many from us but we will all have wonderful and great memories.
