Patricia "Pat" Dagle, 80, of Sioux City entered into rest on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2003, at Holy Spirit Retirement Home.

Services will be 10 a.m. Saturday at the Holy Spirit Retirement Home chapel, with the Rev. John A. Vakulskas Jr. officiating. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery. Visitation will be 2 to 8 p.m. Friday, with the family present 6 to 8 p.m. and a vigil service at 7 p.m., at Meyer Brothers Colonial Chapel. Visitation will resume one hour prior to the service Saturday at the Holy Spirit chapel.

Patricia Pauline Dagle was born March 17, 1922, in Rockville, Neb., the daughter of Joseph and Dora (Robak) Kozlow. She spent her early childhood in Duncan, Neb., and later moved to Sioux City with her mother, sister and two brothers. She attended St. Boniface Catholic Grade School and Cathedral High School. She was employed for several years with Dunn & Bradstreet and Zenith in Sioux City.

She married John B. "Jack" Dagle on May 17, 1947, at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Sioux City. Jack died Dec. 22, 1982.

She devoted her life to service of others. She was a devoted wife and mother and touched the lives of many friends. She was a member and past officer of the St. Boniface Rosary Society and the Catholic Daughters of America, and also served on the Good Shepherd board, the Carmelite board and the Holy Spirit Service Club board for many years. She was a longtime member of the Mercy Medical Center Auxiliary.

Even after becoming a resident of Holy Spirit Retirement Home, she continued her selfless benevolence. She was helpful in bringing patients to the beauty shop and physical therapy appointments, as well as welcoming new patients to the facility. Her good natured sense of humor was a source of good cheer to both staff and residents. A dyed-in-the-wool fan of the Chicago Cubs and legendary WGN broadcaster Harry Caray, she saw to it that her grandsons developed a lifelong passion for that baseball organization from a very early age.

She will be forever remembered as a wonderful mother, grandmother, aunt and friend.

She is survived by a daughter and her husband, Barb and Tom Vakulskas of Sioux City; three grandchildren, Brian Vakulskas and his wife, Ellen, and Molly Vakulskas Joly and her husband, Eric, all of Sioux City, and Daniel Vakulskas of Iowa City, Iowa; a brother and his wife, Jerry and Dorothy Kozlow of Paso Robles, Calif.; a beloved niece, Donna Ayers of Valley Village, Calif.; and several other nieces and nephews.

She also was preceded in death by her parents; a sister, Dorothy Carlson; and a brother, Raymond Kozlow.

Memorials may be directed to the Holy Spirit Service Club or Carmelite Sisters.
