Patricia Marie Greeley age 71, of Brooklyn Center was born May 10th, 1941 to Velma and Melvin Smith. She was the middle child of 10 born siblings. During Pat's long fulfilled life she had one daughter Lisa Marie Greeley (who sadly passed away at the young age of 34), one granddaughter Aphton Marie Hansen, one grandson Austin Scott Strang, and two grand babies Porscha Marie Hansen and Emme Mae Hansen. Not only was she a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother but she her granddaughter Aphtons everything. Patricia is the most amazing woman!!! Although she lost her husband and her daughter she stayed strong and her will and strength and courage will never be forgotten. (Her stubbornest should be mentioned but she was strong willed and that was very admirable)
During Patricia's life she owned a cafe and a bar in Emily, MN. In the late 80's she moved to the cities to take care of her parents before they passed. After they passed Patricia managed a snack bar for Northwest Athletic club in Fridley which is now a Lifetime Fitness. After the passing of Patricia's daughter she worked for a bit but her most rewarding job of all was to raise her granddaughter Aphton.
In Patricia's past time she lived on a hobby farm with pigs and horses. She also enjoyed crocheting, paying cards like Gin Rummy, Cribbage and whatever those games were that she played with her brothers during the family get togethers, and we wont ever forget how much Patricia enjoyed watching the TWINS- she never missed a game!!
Patricia's favorite animal is a dolphin, she enjoyed the colors blue, green, and pink.
You're home in the lords kingdom please enjoy the rest of your life with those who we have lost years prior and know that one day the rest of us left on earth will meet you again, but until then we feel comforted that our new guardian angel will always be looking down and be by our side when we may need your comforting. You will be forever missed!
Patricia went to be with the lord, her daughter, and husband July 4th, 2012!
