Ms. Patricia Gale Brown, affectionately known as Pat or Trish, peacefully departed on March 17th, 2024, at the age of 80. With an indomitable spirit, she devoted her life to her daughter Keri, who had special needs, selflessly placing the needs of others before her own. Trish found solace and joy in the outdoors, participating in the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival and creative pursuits including fishing, cake decorating, stained glass work, sewing, knitting, and expressing her creativity through various artistic endeavors.
Survived by her children, Keri Slater, Wayne Brown (Theresa), and Steven Brown, along with three cherished grandchildren, Morgan Brown, Addison Brown, and Isaac Brown, Trish leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, and artistic brilliance. Her memory will forever be cherished by all who knew her.
This tribute would be incomplete without acknowledging the unwavering support of local friends, a who stood by Trish’s side through countless moments, including her final days. Gratitude is also extended to Care Resources, Samaritas, and Faith Hospice for the exceptional care provided during Trish’s time of need.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hope Network (https://hopenetwork.org/foundation/give) in honor of Keri Slater. Per Trish’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and a memorial service will be held at a future date. May her gentle soul find eternal peace, and may her memory continue to inspire kindness and selflessness in all who remember her.
