Patricia Inez Dobbins

On November 3rd 2024, Patricia Inez Dobbins of Leicester, England, passed away in St. Louis, Missouri. Born to Frank Wade and Jean Wade (nee Fern) on June 7th 1938, Patricia was raised with a strong work ethic, carrying her through her work as an accomplished seamstress. She lived a full and generous life, with time spent enjoying the calm pleasures of nature alongside the highs and lows of a lifelong Leicester City Football Club fan.

Patricia was known, and treasured, as fierce, feisty and funny, with an independent streak and cheeky smile. Her loyalty and love of friends and family inspired a love of travel. She cherished her trips to her friends that were like family in Tacoma, where together they enjoyed the beauty of Western Washington together over many years. Travels to England and Australia for the comfort of pints and laughter with her family were some of her most beloved memories.

Among her most treasured family and friends are her two younger brothers, Steven Wade and his wife Sandy Wade of Maryborough Australia, as well as Kevan Wade and his wife Marilyn Wade of Maroochy Quays Australia; her close friend of over 55 years, Anne Greene of Tacoma, Washington; her pride – son, Ian Dobbins and his partner Denise Head; and her joy – granddaughter, Fiona Dobbins.
