Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, great-aunt and friend, Patricia Rose Raymer (Wilson) passed away peacefully on February 2, 2025 in Helena, Montana.

Patricia Rose Wilson was born April 10, 1942 in Kalamazoo, Michigan to F. Richard "Dick" Wilson and Freda Modderman. Pat was a kind, generous, loving, and hardworking mother to four children, Beth, Shauna, Nicki, Lance, and loving wife to her high school sweetheart and husband, David L. Raymer; they married in Augusta, Michigan in 1961. Pat moved out west with her family to Shoshoni, Wyoming in 1972, where she was a teacher's aide and had the biggest, most beautiful garden in town. Then she and her family moved on to Helena, Montana in 1975, where she lived and worked and played golf and had another big garden with big beautiful tomatoes. She worked in Helena at the IFC Financial House for a few years and then went to work as a Loan Officer at the State Capitol Employees Credit Union where she excelled at working hard to help people achieve their dreams and goals with the help of a loan. So many people have later thanked her for her caring ways and her knowledge for her time as a loan officer. She retired from the Credit Union after 23 years. After retirement she worked in construction with husband Dave and son Lance for 15 years before retiring again. She was a wonderful cook, loved her grandchildren, reading, music, art, sewing, gardening, dancing, playing trivial pursuit, cards, and golf.

While Pat was dealing with dementia in her last years the family would like to thank the staff at Renaissance Senior Care in Helena for their professional and loving care for Pat, or as the staff would sometimes sweetly call her "Patti Cake".
