Patricia's obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Patricia Tweedale, who is fondly remembered by many as Pat. Born on Jun 7, 1947, Patricia blessed us with her generous presence until her departure on Jan 13, 2026.

Patricia is survived with warm memories by her loving family, her cherished son Dennis Oestreich, and her precious grandsons Preston and Austin Oestreich, Robin and Mark Harant. She will be held in the hearts of her cousin Bonnie Miketinac and many others. Her radiant spirit now rejoins her predeceased parents, Frances "Pat" Vardigan Johnson and Burt James Ray.

Patricia's life was enriched by several joyous occasions, notably the birth of her child on October 11, 1971, as well as the addition of her beloved grandchildren on April 23, 2005, and October 8, 2009.

Patricia's passions enriched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She had a penchant for pizza and sweet treats, a love she often extended to her family and friends. She loved to sit down with a hot cup of coffee and watch her favorite crime shows, with a particular fondness for the Detroit Lions. She often found joy and relaxation in spending quality time with her family and animals.

Those who knew Patricia describe her as a woman of strength, kindness, positivity, and unwavering support. Her love was unstinting, and she faced the world and its challenges with contagious optimism. The lessons she shared, to never give up and stay positive, will continue to inspire her loved ones.

Amongst her many accomplishments, Patricia was particularly proud of graduating from Michigan State University. Her life was a testament to her indomitable spirit and her unwavering dedication to her loved ones.

The void left by Patricia's passing can never be filled. However, her memory lives on, a testament to a life filled with love, laughter, and boundless generosity. Rest in peace Patricia, your love and lessons continue to guide us.
