Obituary of Patsy Ann Huffman

HUFFMAN, Patsy Ann (Patt) - A woman who supported and influenced each of her family members with her generous and warm caring soul, passed away on August 28, 2015. Patt was born on September 26, 1926 in Detroit, Michigan, and is predeceased by her husband, Douglas (Ross) Huffman, her parents, George and Gladys Hooper (Westland), and siblings, George, Jack, and Elizabeth. Patt celebrated 88 wonderfully fulfilled years of life and will be deeply missed by all. Following a magnificent childhood, Patt attended college in New York State for fashion and merchandising, which led to a lifelong love and appreciation for clothing and shopping. After he caught her eye at the Rondeau Dance Hall in the summer of 1945, Patt married Ross Huffman in 1947. Together they built a successful farming operation in Harwich Township, raised 5 daughters and enjoyed a life filled with family events and travel. After Ross retired from farming, they resided together in Highbanks, and following Ross' passing, Patt moved to Caleb Village in Chatham. The family would like to think that their beautiful 'Lady in Red' continues to dance in spirit beside each family member; 5 daughters Sandy, Sharon, Sue, Sally, and Shelley along with their spouses, 11 grandchildren and their spouses, and 9 great-grandchildren.
