Patricia A. “Pat” Tatrow, age 81, of Escanaba, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family Wednesday morning, March 15, 2017.
Pat was born May 15, 1935 in Garden, MI the daughter of Howard and Beatrice (Thibault) Pelletier. Pat was born and raised on the Garden Peninsula. She married Gerald Tatrow in 1951 and together they raised seven children. After the unexpected death of her husband in 1991, Pat moved to the Gladstone/Escanaba area to make her home with her youngest daughter, who she continued to live with the rest of her life. She was a homemaker whose days were full and busy with raising children, enjoying time with her grandchildren, knitting and crocheting, sewing, baking and decorating cakes, gardening, playing cards, reading, bird-watching, trips to the casino and working jigsaw puzzles. She had much positive influence on all of her children and grandchildren whom she left with many fond memories of times spent together at “Grandma’s” and who will miss her greatly.
Pat’s family would like to thank all of the caregivers and doctors who have taken care of her, especially the staff at Fresenius Dialysis Center in Escanaba who she came to consider as family. Also, Dr. Randall & Dr. Shaw from OSF and Dr. Napier from UPHS.
