June 6, 1941 — October 7, 2016
Patricia Kirkham passed away peacefully on Friday, October 7, 2016 at the age of 75 years in Calgary, Alberta. Patricia will be lovingly remembered by her son Douglas and daughter Sheila; and her siblings Neil, John, Lottie, Paul, Robert, Laura, and Sondra; sister in law Sally; and their extended families.
Patricia was predeceased by her husband Roger; her parents Morgan and Helen Lund; and her brothers Carl and Alan.
Patricia was gifted with a heart to care for people.

Patricia was also a Founding member of Clubhouse, now known as Potential Place, a place where people with a mental illness are able to lead productive and rewarding lives. In 2011 Patricia received an award recognizing 30 years of service for her devotion to this cause.
The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the Doctors, Nurses, Caregivers and those who supported them from the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, Foothills Medical Centre, Rocky View Hospital, and the Southwood Hospice.
