Patricia Ann Platt Crocker died in the early hours of 18 May 2022, at her home in Grand Cane, LA
Pat Crocker wanted a party, not a funeral when she died. While her family will honor her wishes with a private event, a funeral celebrating her life will be Saturday, 21 May 2022, at Grand Cane Baptist Church, Grand Cane, LA.
Visitation will begin at 10a with the service at 11am. Interment to follow at the Grand Cane Cemetery. Arrangements by Rose-Neath Funeral Home.
Patricia Ann Platt was born 02 January 1934 – 1234 as she would gladly tell you – in Pittsburgh, PA. Her early years with her mother and brother were not exactly idyllic but they helped shape a quick, confident, resilient woman who would, to her dying day, have a positive outlook in just about any situation.
She grew up in a Marine Corps family, living in Sumter, SC, and New Orleans, LA, with frequent trips to California. In New Orleans, she worked in a veterinary clinic and a finance company until a young Marine asked her to marry him. Her mother made her wedding dress, including a little jacket with pearls sewn all over it, and sent her to join her fiancé.
On 02 July 1954, she married E.E. Crocker in Bremerton, WA, beginning what would become a sixty-six-year love affair. As a Marine Corps wife, she held her family together through deployments and postings in Twenty Nine Palms and Vista, CA, Cherry Point, NC, and Sioux Falls, SD. After retirement from the Marines, they built a house in Grand Cane where she would give generously of her time to support efforts at Central School and Grand Cane Baptist Church, singing in the choir, hosting the Ladies' Night Circle, and helping with meals.
Pat worked at Western Electric, then AT&T, in Shreveport, LA, before joining her husband in an insurance business they owned, from which she would retire. She loved doing things with and for her family and friends, even until her last days, always glad to go somewhere and do something. She particularly enjoyed joining the ladies of Grand Cane at the coffee shop on Tuesdays to laugh and catch up, a throwback to her early days .
She is preceded in death by her husband, her parents, Sidney and Elsie Platt, and her brother, Joseph.
