Patti Kleinsorge (a.k.a. Nana P) passed away peacefully surrounded by friends and family on Saturday, October 12, 2024 on the Sunshine Coast, after a courageous 6 year battle with cancer. Throughout her journey, Patti remained vibrant and hilarious and continued to liveeach day with a sense of adventure.
Patti's family was her heart and she persevered to provide core memories for her grandbabies. She loved family dinners, trips to Mexico and Las Vegas, as well as camping, hiking, and fishing in BC's great outdoors. Patti always found a way to seize the moment and never shied away from taking risks, saying yes more than no, and encouraged others to live life to the fullest. She was never one to complain, and she faced her illness with strength, bravery, and hope. Patti's zest for life, her infectious smile, and her ability to brighten any room will be deeply missed by all.
She is survived by her partner Doug, her siblings Corri and Shay, her daughters Randi and Shannon, her nine grandchildren, extended relatives, as well as countless friends who were like family to her.In lieu of flowers, Patti asks that prosecco and tequila be sent to her family members… just kidding, please consider a donation made in Patti's name to the Ruby Slipper and Black Boot Fund, a charity closeto her heart: www.rubyslipperblackbootfund.com
A celebration of life will be held in the spring of 2025,where we will eat, drink, and swim at the beach to honourin a way that was so meaningful to Patti.
"Yesterday is gone, tomorrow never comes, today is the day we live!"
