Heaven became a better place when Patricia Ann Hale, age 74, passed from this world peacefully in her sleep to be with the angels she loved so much on Aug. 7, 2017, at her home in Wasilla, Alaska.
Patti was born in upstate New York on Nov. 27, 1942. She moved to Alaska with her family in the late 1970’s. She loved Alaska and all of its wild beauty; she loved her photographs, ice sculptures and angels but mostly her family. Nothing made her happier than spending time with her nieces, nephews, her sons and her grandchildren. Patti loved her family more then anything and there wasn’t anything that she wouldn’t and didn’t do for everyone that she could; she truly embodied the meaning of unconditional love, and selflessness. Patti is survived by both of her sons, Thomas and Scott Hale, four grandchildren, and her loving partner for over 30 years, Thomas Ford.
