Obituary of Patricia Francis Wall

Wall , Patricia Francis May 19 , 1939 - August 6 , 2013 It is with great sadness to announce the passing of an incredible woman. She passed away at home with her entire family by her side. Pat was born the eldest of seven children, born in Prince Albert Sk and raised in Ladder Valley, Big River Sk. She married Jim Wall in 1959 and they had three children, Debbie, Gordie and Lori. The family moved to Lake Cowichan BC in 1964 . In June1984 they moved to Mackenzie BC where Jim died in a logging accident , October 1984. Pat got a job in the logging camp and then in 1998 she moved back to Big River Sk to take care of her parents on the farm. She moved to town in 2005 to live on her own . Her home was the central meeting place . One knock on her door and you could hear her eagerly saying, come in, come in, come in. Pat had six grandchildren and one great grandson. They were her pride and joy. A visit or a phone call always made her day. What ever you couldn't do at home you could do at Gramma's. You could eat what ever you wanted, drink lots of pop, smoke your candy cigarettes while scratching lottery tickets. Pat loved to laugh and joke and no one was excluded from her teasing. All kids growing up around her knew the meaning of potatoes and gravy and ice cream and every small child knew the Jump in the Buggy song. When ever she was asked how she was, her reply was always the same, I am mean, miserable and bitchy. So far from the truth. She was lovingly called the "Ole Bitch" Pat was known to most everyone as Mom ,Gramma or Auntie even though they were not related to her. She was full of life and always happy, playing games or singing funny little nursery rhymes. She was our story teller and our "You are my Sunshine " singer. For the past 15 years Pat enjoyed her summer months at Ness Lake camping no matter what the weather. Pat enjoyed the simple things in life and could spend hours just people watching. She loved drinking coca cola, and collecting pig ornaments. Pats front window not only over looked the lake but a busy sliding hill in the winter. She was always making hot chocolate or getting dry mitts for all the kids that would spend hours on her steps. We know that she is now reunited with the love of her life, Jim.
