Born Geraldine Patricia Thompson on March 17, 1943 in Montreal, Quebec, Patricia married in Montreal on October 8, 1966 to Wayne Whittaker, who survives her. In 1983 Patricia graduated with distinction from University of Michigan, Dearborn Campus, with a B.Sc. in Business Administration. Her subsequent career spanned 3 countries where her skills and attention to detail made her indispensable.
Among those grieving her loss are her daughter Melissa, son-in-law Kirk Miller, and their daughter’s Evelyn and Madelaine, all of Sammamish, WA. She is also survived by her brother Henry Thompson and his wife Donna, their three sons, and their families.
There are no immediate plans for visitation or funeral, but a Celebration of Life will take place when inclement weather and the pandemic cease to be a deterrent. In lieu of flowers a donation in her memory to the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre Auxiliary will be appreciated. Online memories and condolences may be made at www.peacefultransition.ca.
