Patricia Elizabeth Kane passed away at home with her loving family by her side on March 12, 2020. She was born August 9, 1934 in Butte, Montana to James and Judy Burns. She was a Whittier Wildcat and graduated from Butte High School in 1953.
On November 26, 1955, she married Edward Kane in St. Ann’s Church and together they raised three children; Linda, Jim and Dan. Pat loved spending time with her family camping at Divide Creek, Miner’s Lake and later at her and Ed’s family cabin near Wise River.
She prepared many a delicious family dinner for every birthday, holiday and special occasion. Her favorite holiday was Christmas and her Christmas trees were always a work of art. She was very proud of her family and enjoyed attending her children and grandchildren’s activities. She was known as “GiGi” by her seven great grandchildren and she always carried a special treat in her purse for each of them.
Patricia worked at Metals Bank, Avis Rent a Car and Bernie’s Pharmacy. She was a member of St. Ann’s Parish and the Butte Historical Society. She was a Girl Scout leader and she participated in the planning of the Granite Mountain Memorial. She taught genealogical research methods to visitors at the Butte Silver Bow Archives and researched the archives for people in Ireland who requested information regarding family members who immigrated to Butte.
After retiring, genealogy became her passion as she traced the roots of the Kane/Driscoll and Burns/Waight families. She became the family historian and proudly gathered large amounts of historical documents which she compiled in the Kane/Driscoll family history book and the Kane doctor book.
