Katharine Patricia Minor, 81, passed away in her Idaho Falls home on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 from natural causes. Patricia lived a full life that included raising her three children, pursuing a career as a high school guidance counselor and traveling to places such as Spain, California and Arizona. She was gentle, intelligent, hard-working and had a wonderful dry sense of humor. She will be sorely missed by her family and wide circle of friends. Patricia was born May 8, 1933 to Aloysius Patrick and Mary Beatrice Lavery in Pocatello. She attended St. Joseph’s Catholic School and then Pocatello High School where she was active in track, journalism, Debate Club and Pep Club. After high school Patricia enrolled in Idaho State College where she was active in the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority. She majored in history and also took the courses necessary to become a high school teacher. Upon graduation in 1955, Patricia and three friends moved to Las Vegas where all four young women had found jobs as teachers. She often talked about that year as being one of the most exciting of her life because of the wonderful shows she and her friends were able to see.
