Patricia Steele was born May 7, 1937, in Maryville, TN. She passed Peacefully March 26, 2021, in her home in Vancouver, WA. She was 83 years old.
Patricia was the daughter of James and Edna Steele. Brother Harold (Linda) Steele of Surprise, AZ. She was proceeded in death by two brothers, Winfred (Bernice) Anderson of Maryville, TN, and James (Loretta) Steele of Camas, WA.
Patricia is survived by three sons, Jim Head, Steve (Karen) Head, and Anthony Head. She is also survived by five grandsons, four great-grandsons, and four great-granddaughters.
Mom lived a full 83 years of life. We were part of a military family, which we are very proud of. We got to see the world together. She also traveled on her own, which she truly enjoyed. Mom was fond of playing bridge, puttering around her garden and reading books. She loved Elvis Presley and classical music. She hated computers and cell phones. Mom sure could screw up her TV remote, but she loved watching the Hallmark channel and old mystery shows.
To take a title from a song Elvis sang along with others, Mom did it her way - she had no regrets.
In honor of Patricia Steele, have a cup of coffee and a dish of ice cream. Those are two things she loved. Mom, you’ll be loved and missed.
Patricia Steele requested no funeral services. There will be a celebration of life held later this year in her honor.

I will forever be grateful for having met you, Pat. We had some great conversations and exchanged funny and serious life lessons. I know you were tired, and getting a bit perturbed with your earthly body. I bet it feels nice to be released from that shoulder pain and feel the exuberance of that healing! I miss you already, knowing that I won't have the honor of cutting your hair anymore. I wish you peace and joy,
