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 Jan. 20, 1947 in Brandon, Man. and lost a short battle with cancer on Monday, Aug. 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, Alta., and Trishia L. Winslow, also of Melville. Patsy is also survived by her two loving sisters Marva Debow of Cochrane, Alta. and Maureen Sullivan of Edmonton, Alta.
Patsy is predeceased by both her parents; as well as her brother, Michael, all of Winnipeg, Man.
Pat, above all else, loved and valued family and will be sadly missed by all 13 of her grandchildren; as well as by her two great-granddaughters. Pat will be remembered for her loving heart, 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. To make a donation or to leave a message of condolence for the family, please visit www.matthewsfuneralhome.ca.
Arrangements were entrusted to Matthews Funeral Home, Melville.
