Patricia Sue Lewis White of Roscoe died Monday, December 27. She was born February 25, 1946 in Champaign, IL to Cleo Elizabeth (Allen) and Edgar Grant Lewis.
She married her high school sweetheart Terry White on August 29, 1970 in St. Joseph, Illinois. Pat graduated from St. Joseph-Ogden in 1964. She found her calling with nursing and graduated from St. Elizabeth School of Nursing in 1967. She lived in Chicago after graduation where she made lifelong friends and amazing memories. She continued to bring humor and kindness to her patients and joy to her coworkers as a nurse for 25 years at Swedish American Hospital.
Her closest friends would always say Pat “Hung the Moon!” through her wit charm and engaging personality. She could find the humor in anything and her antics could light up a room. Pat was a woman of endless generosity who enjoyed volunteering, especially at her granddaughters’ school. She was very involved in the lives of her kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews. She was always in the front row for hockey games, performances, and school events. She loved making family memories, was known as “the fun aunt” and cherished family get-togethers. She is survived by her husband, Terry; children, Tracy (Heather) White of Rockford, IL and Amanda (Nate) Hansen of Des Moines, IA; sister, Barbara Lewis (Michelle) of Redmond, WA; brother-in-law, Ron (Margaret) White; the joy of her life, her grandchildren, Poppy, Summer, Augie, and Sam; and nephews, Mike and Andrew. She was preceded in death by daughter, Amy; her parents; and in-laws, Betty and John White.

Private family burial at Grandview in Champaign, IL. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the family to establish a memorial at a later date. In her memory, please do a random act of kindness, smile at a stranger, and be generous.
