Patricia Ann (Frost) Gettel's Obituary
Patricia Ann (Frost) Gettel, longtime resident of West Linn peacefully passed away on May 29, 2023, surrounded by her family. Pat was born in 1930 and left us at 93 years young. She was preceded in death by her husband Al.
Family was everything to Pat. She was a hero to her children and exhibited remarkable stamina during these last six years since the passing of Al. Pat cherished the times she spent with her grandsons.
Pat enjoyed gardening, sewing, cooking, and shopping. Her favorite place was hands down the Oregon Coast where she loved watching the waves roll in and out. She was a dedicated member of West Linn Lutheran Church and a graduate of Oregon City High School, Class of 1947.
Survived by her sons: Mark (Pam) Gettel, Greg Gettel, Randy (Lorinda) Gettel; her daughter, Karen (Wayne) Mcclelland; her grandsons, Alexander, Jason (Cherie), Austin; her great-granddaughter Aliyah; and her step-grandchildren and step-great grandchildren.
A committal graveside service was previously held at Willamette National Cemetery with the assistance of Holman Hankins Bowker & Ward of Oregon City.
