Patricia Louise Dear Obituary

We are sad to announce that on August 26, 2023 we had to say goodbye to Patricia Louise Dear of Saint Helen, Michigan, born in Wayne, Michigan. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Patricia Louise Dear to show support.

She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Leonard Dear and Ruth Dear (Currin); her children, Richard Schank (Bonnie) of Roscommon, Jean Stevens (Paul) of Warren, Brian Schank (Trish Schmidt) of St. Helen and Lisa Winkler of Prudenville; her grandchildren, Matt Schank of Roscommon, Jaina Mott (Ryan) of Interlochen, Shelby Schank of Grand Rapids, Michael Malone (Katie) of Macomb, Russel Malone (Stephanie) of Oxford, Eric Stevens of St. Clair Shores, Ryan Schank of St. Helen, Kyle Schank of Lansing, Austin Schank (Mikayla) of Newaygo, Clifford Winkler III (Taylor) of North Dakota, Madison Winkler (Connor Gordon) of Plymouth, Allison Winkler of Prudenville and Wade Winkler of North Dakota; her great grandchildren, Scarlett, Clifford IV, Ivan, Kallen and Tanner; and her close friend Patty.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that contributions be made to the Roscommon County Commission on Aging, an organization that Patricia greatly appreciated for their support throughout the years.
