Patricia Jane Ellis
Nov 3, 1958 to April 1, 2021
A life taken too soon, Pat put up a good fight these past 10 years with dignity and
humor when life was not always so dignified or humorous. Pat passed away
peacefully, always grateful for the care she received. This past year, she was
separated from the many people she cared about but she never complained. Pat
will be remembered for her beautiful smile, quick wit, a love of animals and her
crazy earring collection. She was born and raised in Victoria, the youngest of 5
children. She lived in Sidney for 35 years before moving to the Duncan area. Pat
was always up for a good time with the rugby boys and not above dancing on a
table or two. She also loved spending time with family and friends at her family’s
cottage at Shawnigan Lake where she spent all her summers growing up.
She is survived by her mother Shirley (100 years), her sisters Debbie, Cathy and
Barb and her brother Dave, stepsister Angie, in-laws, many nieces and nephews
and extended family. She will also be missed by her many friends and co-works
from her 35 years with BC Ferries. Many thanks to the staff at Trillium Acacia Ty
Mawr for their care and kindness. A celebration of Pat’s life will take place when
we can safely do so. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Cancer Society, S.P.C.A.
or a charity of your choice in Pat’s memory would be appreciated, a smile paid
forward.
