Obituary
Patricia Margaret Elizabeth Petrie was born in Souix Falls, South Dakota and educated in Texas, Japan, Germany, and England. A beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend, she lived a life serving others. Pat’s life was spent fostering the differences in everyone around her while nurturing the most precious part in us all, our hearts and our souls. She was most accepting of each individual and found a way to bring out the best in them. To anyone who met Pat, she was a beautiful manifestation of the meaning of the word “lovely.” To her husband, Bob, she was his best friend for more than 48 years; to her children, Robert Diane and Christopher Kristy, she was mom and confidant; to her grandchildren, Evan, Emerson, Ashley, and Nick, she was “Mimi”, “Our Beloved Mimi.” She will continue to live in the legacy that she left behind through her grandchildren, and by the memories that live in us. God bless you Pat. You are with those that you leaned on so much on this earth. There is no more pain. We thank God for each day that you were in our lives. The family requests that donations be made to the Scleroderma Foundation in Pat’s memory at www.Scleroderma.org

I got to know Pat when she come into my quilt shop in Goodlettsville. She was so much fun to be around, sharing, laughing and quilting. She was a great lady, beautiful inside and out. She loved her family. She was always so elegant and put together when she came in, knowing just the thing or color in fabric she was looking for. I admired her very much.

Pat was ALWAYS there for me. She taught me so much about sewing and crafting and about life. She loved her sons and her husband and always talked about them. I will miss you Pat….with love, Jo

How true about the fostering and nurturing …… a fair amount of that was spent on me … in the most gentle and subtle ways. Thank you Pat for putting up with a city dwelling country southern boy who thought he already knew everything. I am now more than ever thankful for your friendship. The Claud’s and the Petie’s …..wow. We did a lot of things together. When Robbie and Chris we’re racing bicyles did anyone have a ‘cooler’ BMX mom? I don’t think so! Oh and what a good influence in Dad’s life at a time when he needed it the most. He loved those visits to the Petrie’s. And Brenda and I will never forget how you stood with her and helped her make the best decisions about her surgery. We all here on earth who knew you will miss you Patricia. I remember a song you liked …… “Wish me a rainbow, wish me a star, all this you can give me wherever you are …..”

Pat Petrie – What a beautiful lady….inside and out. What a privilege to get to know her in this life. I will miss her. So few women are as easy to connect to and to love as easy. To Bob and her family – I know you will miss her greatly. She married a wonderful man who stood by her side and raised a wonderful family – what a legacy. Deepest Sympathy, Pam and Danny
