Memorial Donation
Heaven welcomed home the most beautiful soul on Thursday, June 27, 2019. Patricia Ann passed away after a 4 year hard fought, courageous battle with breast cancer at the age of 71.
Pat was born on July 6, 1947, the middle child to John and Madge Bague of the Kipling District , where she grew up and took her schooling. During her high school years she met her soulmate, Ross Obrigewitsch and were married on April 21, 1965. They purchased a grain and cattle farm and settled into married life. Their family started to grow with the addition of their children, Trent and Shannon. Pat embraced being a mother completely while still being very involved as a farm wife. Many friendships were made with the neighbours close to their farm.
In 1979, they moved into Kipling where Pat worked outside of the home in retail. Her friendly and easy going manner enhanced her position when working with the public. Once the kids graduated, life took on a new path with a move to the Kenosee Lake area. A place that held so many memories to both Pat and Ross; both as young teenagers, spending summers down there raising their own kids and now planning towards retirement one day.
Pat started working at Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle until her retirement. Once retirement arrived the motorhome was off and running. First stop was a 10 week trip to Alaska – a once in a lifetime road trip! Sadly retirement was cut short due to an initial diagnose of stage 4 Mestastic Breast Cancer.
Throughout Pat’s life she enjoyed so many wonderful things; fishing trips, camping with family and friends, vacations, a passion for reading, golfing, crocheting, knitting, a good movie, watching a gentle rain fall and baking. Her first love was being with family first and foremost. Spending time with Ross, her kids and grandchildren and their small pets brought her so much joy and happiness.
Sweetheart, there are no words to describe how broken and sad our hearts are without you. Mom, your loving heart, your kindness, strength and courage will live forever in us. Grama, you will always be our hero.
We all love you to the moon and back.
Pat is survived by her loving husband Ross of 54 years of marriage, her children; Trent (Lee) and Shannon, her grandchildren; Katie (Ryan), Nathan (Jen), Eve, Seth, Lara, Jonas and Caleb, her sisters Gaileen and Donna (Darrell) as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
In keeping with Pat’s wishes a private family gathering will be held at a later date. Condolences maybe forwarded to www.carscaddenfuneralchapel.com
The family would like to thank Dr. Zarkovic from the Allan Blair Cancer Centre and Dr. Van Der Merwe and the amazing team at the Southeast Integrated Care Centre Moosomin for your compassionate care, kindness and empathy that was extended to Pat during this 4 year battle. You have all made a very difficult time easier and for that we are grateful.
