Patricia (Pat) Ann Tyler's Obituary
When you closed your eyes and soared to the Heavens, we could hear the faint flutter of your wings as you left
Our mom, Patricia (Pat) Ann Tyler, age 89, passed away peacefully in her daughter’s home in Marine City on Thursday, November 9, 2023.
She was born December 29, 1933, in St. Clair to the late Forrest and Maxine Laird. She married her soulmate, Lowell E. Tyler on April 11, 1953, in St. Clair. He preceded her in death on January 13, 1992.
Together they owned Tyler’s Market for over 25 years in the City of St. Clair. She was a friendly face to everyone who entered the store and left as a friend. Pat also volunteered for several years as a Pink Lady at River District Hospital.
She is survived by three daughters, Diana (Robert) Kade of Marine City, Deborah (Rick) Goodwin of St. Clair, and Tricia Hill of Ypsilanti; Grandchildren, Tamara (Jason) Andrews, Scott (Nicole) Kade, Sarah (Renae) Powers, Emilie (Samuel) Hill, and Olivia (Billyle) Alman; Great Grandchildren, Devon and Zachary Andrews, Jacob Babel- Kade, Adrionna and Kyler Rumley, and Avi Hill; Brother, Robert (Kay) Laird and his family. She is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and countless wonderful friends.
Besides her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by a special uncle and aunt, Russell and Eleanor Grams.
Mothers are a gift from heaven God uses to demonstrate his love for all children. No one will ever love you like God or a mother does. But take solace in the fact that you’ll meet again someday.
The family wishes to thank Residential Hospice for their compassionate comfort and care of Mom.
Cremation has taken place with Young Funeral Home, China Twp. Private family services will be held, and a burial will be with her husband at Hillside Cemetery, St. Clair, Michigan. Memorial contributions may be made to the St. Clair First United Methodist Church. To leave a message of comfort visit www.youngcolonial.com
