Patti was born on February 7, 1967 to Judy and Thomas Evans. She grew up with her sister and two brothers and graduated Blaine High School in 1985. Patti raised her 3 daughters, who made up the entirety of her world, in Cambridge, MN. She was fiercely independent, full of life and loved adventure. Planning camping trips across the country to see new places and enjoy all the beauty the world offered was something she could be found doing often. Patti absolutely adored her grandchildren and spent much of her time watching them grow. She taught her grandchildren to explore the world and be kind. Patti was known to be able to help anybody with any type of problem. She always created a calm and loving space to make happy lifelong memories that will never be forgotten.
Patti is survived by her children Kayla (Derek) Michels, Mandy (Aaron) Michels, and Rachel (Jacob) Mossberg; grandsons Porter (3.5yr), Hudson (1.5yr), Coleman (1.5yr); granddaughter Stella (1 week); mother Judy Evans; sister Peggy (Steve) Evans; brothers Bob (Teresa) Evans and Steve Evans; along with many other family members and friends.
She was preceded in death by her father, Tom Evans.
Judy,
I am so sorry to hear this. My prayers are with your entire family.
She was the best babysitter I ever had in my whole life. And the first one I can ever recall growing up in Minot, ND. She cared for my brother and I deeply and even showed up at my his wedding decades later. I have never forgotten her and want her family to know how special she was to me and my family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family during this difficult time.
Hello Judy and Family, You are all in my thoughts at this time. Patti sounded like a very fun-loving and caring person. May her memory be a Blessing to all of you, With Love and Peace, Bev Fite
Haven’t known Patti very long, but she was a kind, helpful, great neighbor who loved to camp, feed the birds and play with her grandkids. She always had a kind word and a big smile. She will be missed. Fare thee well, Patti.
