Patricia Mary Anderson
July 14, 1938 — April 27, 2016
Patricia Mary Anderson of Zumbrota passed away on Wednesday April 27th, 2016. She died peacefully at home with her family at her side.
Pat was born on July 14th, 1938 in Zumbrota, Minnesota to Lawrence and Ina Evert. She attended Zumbrota High School and graduated in 1956. After graduation, Pat worked for many years as a secretary at the Mayo Clinic in the departments of Neurosurgery and Orthopedics. In 1971, Pat married Ted Anderson from Blyth, England who was on assignment for IBM in Rochester. They moved the family to England where they lived for several years before returning to Saugerties, NY and then Zumbrota where they made their home since 1976.
Pat was preceded in death by her husband Ted, her father and mother, Lawrence and Ina Evert, and her brother Jeff Evert. She is survived by her brothers Larry (Sheri), Mike (Sharon), Mark (Dawn) and Bill (Dave) Evert, her sister-in-law Barb Evert, her children Todd (Tracy) Langevin of Edina and Suzanne Langevin of Oronoco, Heather (Simon) Cowell, Brenda Dymond and Mark (Kim) Anderson - all of England. Pat has nine grandchildren Kelly and Daniel Langevin, Robert, Adam and Hannah Cowell, Michael and Claire Dymond, and Craig and Elliot Anderson.
Pat was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother and friend whose compassion knew no bounds. She believed in performing acts of charity, caring for those less fortunate and in her quiet way ‘giving until it hurts'. Pat was an active member of the Church of Saint Paul in Zumbrota. She was a long-distance foster mother to children in need from impoverished countries. She, with her lovely voice, and Ted, who was an accomplished piano player, enjoyed volunteering their time at local nursing homes to provide entertainment for the residents.
Pat was an excellent cook. She enjoyed country living, feeding wild birds, reading and traveling. She and Ted made annual visits to England, a country she loved very much, to visit family and friends.
Her family would like to thank Mayo Hospice team - Kelly, Liz, Anna, Mindy and Chaplain Kate - for their support and compassion. She was grateful for your care. The family extends heartfelt thanks to Father Randal Kasel and Deacon Paul Tschann from the Church of St Paul for your spiritual support. Thanks to all of her friends and family who brightened her days with your visits. She was so happy to see you all. If considering a donation, preferences include the Salvation Army, the Church of St Paul in Zumbrota or Unbound (formerly Christian Foundation for Children and the Aging).
