MCFARLANE, PATRICIA JEAN

Peacefully at home, surrounded by family, in her 90th year, on Sunday, February 19, 2017. Patricia (Henderson), loving wife of the late Robert Malcolm McFarlane MD (2006). Daughter of the late Myra and the late William Henderson. She leaves her three adoring daughters, Janie (Cope Smith), Wendy, and Laurie (Brian Hughes), her very special grandchildren, Kristin (John Zazzarino), Rob, Charles, and Tommy, and cherished great- grandchildren, James and Olivia. Fondly remembered by her sister Barbara (Keith MacDonald), and many nieces and nephews.

Pat was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who loved to spend time with her family at home, and at the cottage on the shores of Lake Huron at Bruce Beach. She was an avid curler, tennis player, and football fan. Pat had a lifelong connection with Western University, first as a graduate, and later as a member of the Board of Directors of Foundation Western. A dear friend to many, Pat will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, zest for life, love of nature, and all things blue.

A celebration of Pat`s life will take place on Friday, February 24th, at 11:00 am, at First-St. Andrew`s United Church, 350 Queen`s Avenue, London Ontario. In memory of Pat, family and friends are encouraged to wear something blue. Reception to follow in the Church Hall. Private family interment at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to The Roth McFarlane Hand and Upper Limb Clinic (St. Joseph`s Health Care Foundation), would be greatly appreciated.
