Obituary of Patricia (Patti) Anne MARKLUND


July 1, 1955 – Prince Albert, Saskatchewan
December 16, 2020 – Calgary, Alberta

Following a brave fight against Covid-19, Patti passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 16, 2020 at the age of 65 years.

The eldest of four children, and dear aunt to two nieces and two nephews, Patti  always brought great joy to her family. She will be remembered as the most thoughtful and loving daughter, sister and aunt.

Growing up Patti was fortunate to attend the Winnifred Stewart School in Edmonton. She became an avid reader, had the best printing and always had countless friends throughout her life.

Patti was an enthusiastic Special Olympic athlete competing for many years in bowling. She loved spending time with her team mates, participating in tournaments and was proud of her many athletic accomplishments.

Patti was also a devoted fan of the Calgary Flames and loved country music and classic movies. Her astounding collection of music and movies always happily shared with her family and friends.

Her retirement years were the envy of many. As part of the Scope Journeys program she enjoyed opportunities for international travel, great friendships and tremendous support in countless ways.

Most of all, Patti will be remembered for her lasting love, kindness and ever present hugs.
