Patsy Novella Whittemore

May 25, 1934 - July 21, 2021

Patsy Novella Whittemore, born to Herbert and Lucile Rickard on May 25, 1934, in Causey, New Mexico, passed peacefully at home on July 21, 2021. After Pat graduated from Clovis High School, she worked for the Base Commander at Clovis Air Force Base where she met the love of her life, Ron Whittemore. They were married on April 1, 1953. After Ron left the service, they relocated to the Pacific Northwest where they raised their daughters, Lisa and Karin. Pat worked in banking and accounting for most of her career. In later years, she was able to follow her passion and went into interior design. She served as President of the local chapter of NWSID and during that time oversaw the design of homes for a Steet of Dreams Show. Pat had a deep faith in God and also enjoyed gardening, wine tasting and the performing arts, but mostly entertaining and spending time with friends and family. After many years in Hermiston, Oregon, she and Ron moved to Dundee where they both lived out their lives. Pat was greatly adored by her grandchildren Ryan, Rachel, and Chase, as well as eight great-grandchildren. This past year she was fortunate enough to witness the birth of her two great-granddaughters. Pat is preceded in death by her husband Ron and granddaughter Rachel. Pat’s family invites you to a graveside service to honor her at 1:00 PM on Monday, August 16, 2021, at Valley View Memorial Park in Newberg, Oregon, followed by a gathering at her home in Dundee to celebrate her wonderful life. Please leave a message of condolence for the family.
