Ross – my sincere condolences on the passing of your dear Patty. I was always so impressed with the caring, tenderness and respect you treated her with. No doubt she’s resting peacefully after a life filled with such love and laughter.

In our earlier days Pat was my trusted confidant and friend. I would talk to her about anything,children,husbands and whatever was on my mind and she never turned me away when asked for help. Pat will forever be in my heartand I send love and prayers to Ross and all the children that loved her.

We enjoyed many a fun time over the years.
Big hugs

62 years together, through thick and thin! But really there was no thin. Ross the devoted loving husband, Patsy, his Queen!
Sequence will not be the same without her. I was thrilled to hear my current competitors Donita and Russ were one time regular players with you two. And while the Ortega gang is full of mischief, Patsy was above all that. I miss you Patsy. Ross please heal quick. We need you.
Barb Lee says
I am sorry to learn about Patsy’s death. I have so many fond memories of our time spent together on Ortega Lane.
I love that photo of Patsy. It is the way I remember her…that big happy smile (especially when she would tell me stories about Ross and her). Turquoise is the color that always makes me think of Patsy !
I’ll continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Miss you both.
Kelly Corbyn says
So much of my life has intertwined with Patsy, Ross and the girls. Hard to say where one story stops and another begins. I owe so much to you for treating me almost like a daughter. Will be fondly remembered always by Doug and our family. Especially when I chose valet parking
Julie Morgan says
Dear Ross and Family,
We know most of you from our Ortega Lane FAMILY neighborhood.
It has been many years of memories . From Key West shopping, picking up materials for our homes when the hurricane hit us, to 5 O’Clock get togethers, Birthday celebrations, cook outs! Church and Euchre games.
We are blessed to call you our Friends! Hope to see you soon Ross!
We miss Patsy!

Ross and Family;
It has only been a few years, 6 or 7, that we have known you (Ross) and Patsy but we have many memories of good times. Bills’ 90 birthday party with the Ortega Lane Gang come to the front with Patsy singing with all the other ladies and really enjoying herself.
Ron & Sharon Jaremkow says
For the years of fun, laughs and smiles at the cottage, all ways remembered. Seems like just the other day.
Dave Barr and Carol Cross says
Patsy, you put your smiles on a lot of faces along with Ross’s glee for over 62 years. What a LOVING couple.
I only wish Carol would have had more time to know you Patsy.
Terry and Connie Holder says
Dear Ross and family,
We have such fond memories of our time together on Big Pine Key. We are thankful for our time with you both and grateful that you were a part of our “Ortega Lane Gang!” Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family.

Doug McLellan says
My Good friend, “Racer Rossie” and family:
I was shocked to hear of Patsy’s illness, and passing.
All that needs to be said about you two, is that you were married for SIXTY-TWO years !!!
What more can be said about the love that you shared, and, I believe,will continue to share.
All my very best to you and yours,
Doug

Dear Ross and family,
Our deepest sympathies at the passing of your Pat. Words cannot express the love Patricia had for you nor can they prevent the loss of her love you are now feeling. As you embrace your emotion of separation, we know the Lord is with you and knows your deepest heart-felt memories. We pray the Lord will heal your pain and bring you to the place of peace to freely enjoy the timeless joy of love filled memories. All our love and prayers, Brian & Sandra Laidler & Deloris English.

I still remember the charming smile and a bright look when I first came to your home. I appreciate your hospitality and friendliness you show to a stranger.
