She was born Sept. 1, in Kingman, to Della Mae (Thompson) and Dennis Willette. Pat grew up in Lewiston, the middle child of 15 brothers and sisters.

Patty was also a talented carpenter, crafter, seamstress and quilter. She enjoyed card games, cribbage, solitaire and was even known to play a poker hand. She was always happy to spend time with family, particularly her eight grandchildren of whom she was immensely proud.
She is survived by her son, Daniel Jalbert and his wife, Rhonda, of Port Angelas, Wash., and their daughters, Melanie and Kari and her great-grandchildren, Kenzi, Amilyah and Eli; her daughter, Tracy (McNulty) and her husband, Michael Ayer, of Winslow, and their children, Michelle, Patricia (Trish) and Sam; her son, Tim McNulty and his wife, Stacy, of Scarborough, and their children, Caitlyn, Molly and Meghan; her niece, Janis, with whom she was particularly close; her sisters, Lucille Popodak, Sandra Willette and Sheila Gottuso; her brother, Michael; and numerous nieces and nephews.
