ANDREW - Patricia Jean of Swift Current passed away on Thursday, December 17, 2009 at the Cypress Regional Hospital, Swift Current, SK at the age of 79 years. Pat was born on the family farm, NW of 31-11-12 in the RM of Whiska Creek, on December 4, 1930. She attended school at Neville and eventually married Doug Andrew on August 15, 1950. Pat was a homemaker and helped Doug run the family farm. She was an active member of several clubs including 45 years in the Aneroid Legion Auxilliary (president in 1970/71), longtime member of the Royal Purple Lodge #306 (honored Royal Lady 1971/72), she taught Sunday School, sat on the school board and was president of the local figure skating club. Pat enjoyed curling, playing her organ and singing, loved the water and enjoyed watching her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren learning to ski, fish and swim. She also never missed an episode of Coronation Street. She loved being at their cabin at Lac Pelletier, sitting on the deck and watching the people and boats go by was one of her favorite pastimes. She also enjoyed a good practical joke. She once phoned a neighbour on April 1 and told her to put a paper bag over the phone receiver as they were blowing out the phone lines. The neighbour quickly did this as Pat took pride in her prank. Pat also loved her grandchildren very much and was very proud of all their accomplishments. Pat is survived by her husband Doug Andrew; her children Dawn (Claude) Dash and Kirk (Sharon) Andrew; sister Judy (Don) Empey, brother Orme (Grace) Payne; grandchildren Jason (Crystal) Dash, Bob (Val) Dash, Kristie (Wade) Dash, Jacqueline Andrew, Brandy Andrew, and Joe Andrew; great grandchildren Rhett Dash, Dakota Dash, Brianna Dash, Justin Dash, Rachel Dash and Reese Fyke.
