With great sadness, we announce that Patricia McGrath left us peacefully on June 20th (Summer Solstice) in her 89th year.
Pat was a loving mother, wife, grandmother, great-grandmother, informed and compassionate mentor, loyal friend, seasoned traveler, published writer, and a dedicated champion of women’s and children’s rights.
Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, Pat spent many years in the Tacoma area before relocating to Rockaway with her husband, Jerry. She was the director of the Tillamook Women’s Crisis Center from 1985 to 1987.
Pat is survived by her son, Conor, granddaughter Amber, and great-grandson Cooper. Her son, Scot, and husband, Jerry, preceded her in death.
Family and friends will fondly remember Pat as happy, joyous, and free.
A Remembrance gathering will be held at Neah-Kah-Nie High School gym at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 6, 2024.
