May 2, 1945 --- November 1, 2015

Patricia Jeanette Packard, 70, of Hampton, IA died on Sunday, November 1, 2015 at Hospice of North Iowa. A private family celebration of Patricia's life will take place at a later date. Per her wishes, she will be cremated.

Patricia was the first of two children, born on May 2, 1945 in Hampton, to John Evans and Ruth (Klousia) Evans. She spent her childhood growing up in Dows, IA on the family farm, where she developed her love of animals. She received her education in Dows, graduating in 1963. Patricia raised her three girls in Hampton, residing there for most of her life. Patricia worked for many years as a Certified Nursing Assistant for Franklin General Hospital. She later earned her Associates Degree from Ellsworth Community College and a Bachelor’s Degree from Buena Vista University. After graduation, she worked as an accountant for Stove Pipe Wells, a resort located in Death Valley California.

In her free time she volunteered for the Republican National Committee and was an active member with the United Methodist Church in Hampton. The last six years of her life she resided in the childhood home of her mother, at the family farm outside of Hampton. Patricia was an excellent seamstress and enjoyed sewing and crocheting.

She will be dearly missed by her three daughters: Jeanette Enos of Des Moines, Evelyn (Devon) Schroeder of Charles City, and Martha Packard of Des Moines; sister, Ruth (Bill) Sheehan; nephew, Brett Sheehan and niece, Erin Sheehan. She was preceded in death by her parents and infant son, Raymond. To honor Patricia's love of animals, in lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy may wish to consider a donation to their local Humane Society.
