Patricia Anne Howe, age 90, passed away peacefully on February 12. She was born in March, 1929 in Spencer, Iowa. In April of 1949, she married the love of her life and best friend, Luke Edward Howe, who preceded her in death in 1978.
Pat was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Grandma and GiGi.
Throughout her life, she was an inspiration of strength, courage and guidance during challenging times.
Pat attended St. Andrew’s Grammar School (Chicago) and Providence High School (Chicago). She also played for the Chicago Bears, well actually, she played drums during halftime of Bears games.
Grandma was loved and will be missed by her 15 grandchildren: Kathy, Steve, Joe, Peter, Colleen, Tom, Cheryl, Bob, Carrie, Chrissie, Tricia, Peter, Margaret, Luke and Patrick. GiGi’s 19 great grandchildren had a very special place in her heart. Pat had many, many relatives who she loved and will remember her fondly.
She would like us to remember her by the philosophy she lived by: “Do what’s right and do what’s good. Be kind and help others.”
