Hanks, Patricia Kay - 65
10/28/1943 7/4/2009
Patricia Kay Hanks of Carlton passed away peacefully on July 4, 2009. She leaves her loving husband of 46 years and best buddy, Al Hanks; children, David and Lisa; and grandchildren, Diego, Thibaud and Guillaume. Memorial services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 11, 2009, in the chapel of Macy and Son. Born in Salem on Oct. 28, 1943, Patricia was raised in Gervais by her parents Izorah "Kay" and Roscoe Colby, and was one of five sisters. While attending Gervais High School, she was a cheerleader and championship softball pitcher. As a teen, she loved to wear pleated miniskirts and dance the night away. Music was a lifelong passion, particularly jazz and rock 'n' roll. Patricia always had a piano in the house and played beautifully. "She was the prettiest girl I ever saw," Al remembers of their first meeting at the University of Oregon, where they were both undergraduates. A devoted, lifelong Ducks fan, she cheered on her football team during every game, dressed head to toe in yellow and green. Patricia went on to earn a fine arts degree from the University of Nebraska, Omaha, in 1979, as well as a master's in museum studies from California State University, Long Beach, in 1990. As an artist, she created oil, tole and watercolor paintings, as well as prints and jewelry. Patricia enjoyed cross-country skiing, mountain biking, golfing, camping, hiking and fly-fishing. She sought out new places to sightsee, walk, shop, ski, drink wine and eat cheese, and traveled extensively in the United States, Europe and Asia. She also enjoyed reading, cooking, gardening and indulging her sweet tooth; Godiva chocolates and Tillamook berry shakes were special favorites. She volunteered in many places, including the master gardener program, Air Force Family Services and various museums. Patricia was a devoted, loyal, loving wife, mother and homemaker - though she didn't particularly like housework. She was fiercely protective of her children, and dearly loved her grandsons. The hole in our hearts will never be healed. She will be sorely missed. Memorials may be given to fight Huntington's chorea, c/o Macy and Son. ~~~~
