In Memory Of

Patricia M. Stoltz, age 90 of Miles City.

August 16, 1924 – April 29, 2015

Pat Stoltz (nee Mitchell), 90, died Wednesday, April 29, 2015, at St. Vincent Hospital in Billings, Montana, after a long period of weakened health. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, book lover, great listener of her children and remained her husband’s steadfast partner in all things.

Pat was born to Grace Lenore (nee Condran) and Charles Reeves Mitchell in Aberdeen, South Dakota on August 16, 1924; the second youngest of five children. She graduated from Aberdeen Central High School in June 1942 and in 1946 from Holy Rosary Presentation School of Nursing in Miles City, Montana.

Pat married Frank Stoltz May 15, 1948 at the Sacred Heart Church in Miles City and they have five children – Melissa (Don) Hartman in Miles City, Deborah Richardson in Billings, Tim (Carol) Stoltz in Miles City, Dan (Nancy) Stoltz in The Woodlands, Texas and Patrick Stoltz in Ennis, Montana – eleven grandchildren and twenty-three great-grandchildren.

Pat worked in the Nursing Division in Washington, D.C. for Colonel Blanchefield in civil service and then her nursing career began in Miles City working at the Holy Rosary Hospital, the Garberson Clinic and the Veterans Administration Hospital. She then helped Frank grow the current business, Frank’s Body Shop, and retired in 1993.

For many years, she belonged to the Sacred Heart Altar Society St. Catherine’s Circle. She also learned to play bridge and played regularly for several years.

Pat lived a life of grace, wisdom, elegance, strength, love and had a huge hunger for learning through constant reading. She loved history, especially English history. She was a gracious lady with the loveliest of smiles and beautiful blue eyes.

Pat is preceded in death by her parents (Grace and Charles), three brothers (Condran, Roger, Michael), and one sister (Rachael).

She is survived by her husband, Frank, their five children, Melissa, Deborah, Tim, Dan and Patrick, eleven grandchildren, twenty-three great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Gifts in her memory may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, P.O. Box 50, Memphis, TN 38101-9929 (stjude.org), University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (www.mdanderson.org/gifts) or to a charity of one’s choice.

“We love you and we will miss you Mom/Pat!’

“Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind…” (William Wordsworth).

    Tim and family. I am so sorry for your lost. Pat was always a challenge for me at Bluegrass Upholstery. She knew what she wanted and I knew I may not be able to deliver what she wanted at least at her price. We had our differences and we had our ways to see eye to eye. I always enjoyed working with her on her many projects. Peace be with you at this time. It is so hard to lose a mother.

    My deepest sympathies to all of you at this difficult time. I’ve known Pat/ your mom all my life, and she was always so kind to me. It has been some years since I had seen her; but I can still remember the days when I was attending MCC, working for my dad delivering parts, and I would have a stop at your shop. Pat would stop whatever she was doing to say hello, and we would always visit for a few minutes. May you find comfort in your memories of the good times with her. She will be missed.
