Obituary of Patricia Rose Garske

Pat was killed in a car accident on her way to one of her favorite camping sites. She leaves many "holes" in our family and the community. She was a loving and understanding mother, a precious daughter, a beloved sister, and much more. Pat was a gifted teacher. She was especially happy in the company of her middle school students, and she put her teaching talents to use in her church, as well. Her beautiful voice will be missed in the church choir, as well as family gatherings. She is survived by her daughters, Paige and April; her parents, Tom and Dorothy Garske, five siblings, and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins. The funeral service will be held Saturday, July 28th at Resurrection Church in Aptos, CA, beginning with a rosary at 10:30, then Mass at 11:00. The address is 7600 Soquel Drive, Aptos, CA 95003. In lieu of flowers, please consider contributions to Monterey Bay Action Council - Breakaway Soccer Program, or the Arthritis Foundation.
