I will always miss your warmth, cooking and stories Auntie Pat. You could make me howl with laughter and think deeply at times of what's truly important in Life.
To my cousins, I pray that we become closer and continue to Lead Each other in our future endeavors with comforting words and Open Arms......
Until we meet again. Auntie Pat...............ILY .Jason
God Bless you, Aunt Pat!
Prayers and blessings to the Packard family in this time of loss. I am truly honored to call her "my precious aunt Pat."
She championed a life full of love, compassion, empathy and generosity to her family and friends. I've been reminiscing over wonderful memories of sitting in her kitchen or out on the patio laughing with family and it was always surrounded by her delicious cooking, especially Grandma Elaine's famous italian chicken.
During the summer, Trent, Brett, Casey and I would come back after a week or so with Uncle Joe's HEAT company, cleaning oil rig boilers from Utah up to Canada and inundate her with wash and stories of our adventures from the road. Her first question was always, when did we last eat?
She was a selfless surrogate Mom to me in so many ways back in those U of U college years from 78-81' living with Grandpa Dick. After skiing with Trent or breaking away from intensive studies, I was always welcome to come out for a home-cooked meal and a MASH episode or two. More times than not, I would find Grandpa Dick's yellow Toyota Corolla already in their driveway with Brock the dog in tow.
In all, she loved life to the fullest and cared deeply for those around her. Her care and concern for others was her hallmark.
To my cousins Trent, Brett, Casey and Lisa...I love you all dearly and can't imagine losing both beloved Joe and Pat in such a short time.
Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care of each other, and I look forward to seeing you soon, now that my son Stephen is living and working in Salt Lake.
May they both rest in the Lord's loving arms!

My sister and I lived next door to the Packard family when we were all young. Pat became like a second mother to us, and we had many adventures and exciting moments between our two houses. She was a wonderful mother, a dear friend to our mother and to us. She always had a sense of humor and an amazing sense of grace and calm no matter what kind of chaos was happening around her. I will miss that warm smile, loving hug, and deep soulful laugh that she shared freely.
Patricia was a truly remarkable lady. I first moved to Salt Lake City from Seattle the first thing I noticed was her smiling face, keen interested to get to know me. we chatted I felt welcomed. the more I visited her home with her daughter, Lisa I noticed her heart was kindness just like my deaf mother. I felt honored to get to know her and her family, and her extended as well. I am going to miss Patricia for rest of my life.
