It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Predeceased by husband Gordon of 62 years. Cherished mother to Linda Buller (Mark), Diana Reidpath (Abe) and Greg (Michelle). Beloved grandmother to Andy, Jim, Angela, Olivia and Vanessa. Great-grandmother of Kortney, Carter, Haylie, Dylan, Rylie, Hudson and Riley. Survived by brother Dave Kellington (Elva).

Patricia did bookkeeping for her dad at Kellington Wood Products before selling Beauty Counselor. She then went on to Secretary work at AV Graham Public School.
Mom's found great enjoyment in her traveling with dad throughout North America, Europe, Caribbean and multiple cruises. They had a vibrant social life and were known for their pool parties. She enjoyed a nice glass of wine and was a huge fan of Stephen King novels. Patricia was outgoing, spunky and feisty to those who know her.
