Passed away on August 9th at her home in Spokane. Pat was born to Martin and Mary Sletager on December 8, 1928, in Sandpoint, Idaho where she lived until the day of her marriage to John W. Reeves on August 31, 1947.
Spokane was home for John and Pat since that day. For many years in the fifties and sixties, Pat worked at the Crescent Department Store as an Estee Lauder representative. Pat was a model of love, tolerance and wisdom to her many family members, often recognized as the "glue" that held her extended family together.

(Gayle) Reeves Jr.; daughters Rhonda Hughes, Shannon (John) Kapek and Meagan Fennen, all of Spokane.
