Patricia Dawyn Retzlaff
It is with great and profound sorrow that the family must announce the sudden passing of Patricia Dawyn Retzlaff. Pat, or Patsy as she was better known, was born on January 20, 1947 in Brandon, Manitoba and lost a short battle with cancer on August 29, 2016 at the age of 69 years.
Pat leaves behind her husband of nearly 49 years, Frederick P. Retzlaff, of Melville and her three children Dana L. Simon of Melville, Christopher M.L. Retzlaff of Lethbridge, Alberta, and Trishia L Winslow also of Melville. Patsy is also survived by her two loving sisters Marva Debow of Cochrane, Alberta and Maureen Sullivan of Edmonton, Alberta. Patsy is predeceased by both her parents as well as her brother Michael, all of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Pat, above all else, loved and valued family and will be sadly missed by all thirteen of her grandchildren as well as by her 2 great-granddaughters. Pat will be remembered for her loving heart, her compassionate spirit, quick wit and especially her wonderful sense of humour.
A small, private service will be held for the family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
