1957-2020 ~ With profound sadness we announce the passing of Patricia Heykants on Tuesday, April 7 2020. After a courageous battle with cancer, she crossed peacefully with her love by her side.
Patti was born in Winnipeg in 1957 and spent her younger years with her siblings, Gerry, Lynn, and Andy along with countless friends along the way. Her mother passed away in Patti's teenage years after which she moved to Edmonton with friends and started some career training. While living there she met Bill and started their lives together.
After moving to Red Deer, they got married and had two beautiful children, Spencer and Breanna. Once the kids were both in school, Patti volunteered her time in the school system. Whether in the library or front desk, she always had a smile and enjoyed her work. After joining RDPSD, she continued to work at various schools, eventually retiring from Oriole Park Elementary school and enjoying all things that life offered. Her favorite being family time.
She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Bill; children, Spencer and Breanna; sisters, Gerry and Lynn; brother Andy, and BFF Ruth. A Celebration of Life to be determined. Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.myalternatives.ca.
