Patricia Keeling

Patricia A. Keeling, 64, of Bremerton, Washington died at home on November 13, 2009 after suffering the loss of her husband 9 months ago and battling a neurological disease.  She was born on May 18, 1945 (the day and month Mt.St. Helens blew) in Seattle, Washington to James and Elizabeth Caperci. Pat was a dedicated person who worked as a Secretary for the past 45 years.  Pat most recently worked for Pacific Northwest Title in Silverdale, Washington.  Pat had an amazing talent of being able to write in Shorthand, which is a skill you rarely see in the workforce today.  Pat loved cooking, having her family close and gardening.  She grew up on a 5 acre nursery and had a knack for identifying a wide variety of plants. The majority of her life was spent with her husband Rick.  They were best friends, partners, and soul mates.  His death was devastating to her.  He was the love of her life. She is survived by her sisters Roberta and Mary; daughters Sheila and Liz; step-daughters Rachelle and Amber; granddaughters Tysha, Rochelle and Brandy; and great-granddaughter Hailey.  She was preceded in death by her husband Rick, sister Betty, and parents James and Elizabeth Caperci. The family will be holding a private memorial service.  Online memorial at www.rill.com
