Patricia Rae Squire Anderson

I remember your alls mom when she would come to WV for summers-- I had the Health food store in town then and she "worked' for me- the shop had been moved up the hill/across the road from its original spot and business was ....slow. Pat would find ways to keep busy by moving items around (making it appear as new inventory!), kept the flowers and p...more

I have many precious memories of Pat. Growing up together as cousins and playmates in the Park Center community. Her talent as a pianist that she gained so quickly and easily. Later, her friendship and support during my first year in college in Lincoln while she was beginning her career in nursing. More recently, her cheerful messages and our sh...more

My dear friend Pat, you will be missed more than you know. I will always remember how welcoming you were eight years ago when I was so fortunate to become your neighbor. All our dinners with Miffy, sharing thoughts and news of our beloved families. All the flowers and pies. The rhubarb, the water and most of all, the laughter! You will forever be ...more

I remember Pat well from family visits to NE with my mother (Myrtle Peterson Forney) and family. She was always kind and gracious to we “younguns” who watched and adored her from afar. I also recall seeing her at family gatherings when we were both adults. Still adored her even though I didn’t know her well. My mom was very fond of both Irene and ...more

My jewel in my life..patty... My life was filled with happiness because of patty. She was always ready for anything...the smile and laugh and joy and a great cook. Dick and i would have missed out on life without patty. The tears have been flowing today. The cabin, the bike rides, the Friday night dinners, and good and not so good times. We ...more

When I was a freshman at the University Pat and Gordon were so kind to me. I was invited to Sunday dinner and Pat also fixed my hair for me. She was a wonderful hostess when the cousins got together in West Virginia. That was a very special time for all of us. Pat has been part of my life - all of my life. Her passing leaves a hole in my heart!...more

I was eight years old when Pat was born. Having a baby sister was wonderful and the best thing that could happen. For the next 82 years having Pat for a sister has been a great thing in my life. She was always there for me and our times together through the years were wonderful. Pat was an excellent pianist. I remember that at 14 years of age she w...more

What can I say... she had an amazing soul. Pat, Irene & Susie all make you feel so special, and so much fun to chat with. I loved Pats humor! We flew to Atlanta to visit my brother and met up with Pat and Irene to drive with them to Lauren & Dawson’s wedding. My brother gave them a tour of Atlanta (he missed a couple exits and kept driving around i...more

Immediately after hanging up with Kyle Rae yesterday listening to the news of Pat's passing, before even visiting this site and reading Kyle’s invocation to get out and take a walk, breath in and notice, that was my first impulse. Off to Elden woods on bikes with my partner, Tyler. Stash the bikes in a gully and hike the trails that meander through...more

Always an ardent admirer of Pat's beauty and talents I began to idolize her when I was in the 1st grade and she in the 6th. She saved my life. (At least that's the way it was in my 1st grade mind and remains that way in my elderly one.) One recess an 8th grade boy began taking great pleasure in pushing me face down in the snow. Pat strode up to...more

I want you both to know how important your mom was in my life. In many ways, she served as a second mother to me at the time. I miss her (and both of you). I did not become the person I am today without her. Jim Ross

Pat was so many things to me and my family. She came into my life 30 years ago when Cea and I became buds. Since then, other than cheerleading our crazy sisterhood adventures (trying to copy Kyle those first ten years or so as the perpetual youngest siblings), Pat was my confidante with some health issues, a guide for my starting out as a wife who ...more

So extremely sad to hear about your Mom's passing. Hope you, Kyle and your families are comforted with the thought that your Mom brought us all cherished memories of warmth, friendship, compassion, calmness and security. These traits, as well as the direction and examples laid down by your Mother, were the foundation of my formative years and hav...more

So sorry to hear of your Moms passing. I have such fond memories of her and your whole family. Mostly I remember your Mom's laugh! I also remember her as someone who found the joy in life. Trips to YMCA and Wyoming cabin and Flathead Lake are all prominent. I hope you and your family are doing OK. Our best Regards, Kyle DeBord

Patty - One of my favorite people in the whole world. What a wonderful friend she was. I shall never forget her wonderful sense of humor, how quick she was to laugh at any and all situations and what a great cook she was. Many of my favorite recipes came from her kitchen! Dave and I had many memorable motorcycle trips with Pat and Gordon and Bo...more

Pat and I met in an exercise class quite a few years ago, and then we discovered we were "alley" neighbors. My husband and I have been in East Texas for the winter . Staying longer than usual because of the virus, I was sick at heart to learn of Pat's death when we arrived home a week ago. I remember her laugh, her intelligence, her talents. We...more

Oh, so many memories of our high school days in Nebraska. Pat was such a fun loving person. We played volleyball, were cheerleaders, loved music and spent weekends together. I loved her piano playing, always wishing I had her talent. We both lived in Lincoln, when she was in nursing school, I attended her graduation. Both of us married, had ch...more
