Our beloved wife and mother, Patricia Marie Youker (Lhamon) passed away, peacefully and surrounded by family, Friday July 29th at the age of 70.

Patricia was born on April 10, 1952 to Marion and Ernest Lhamon in Buckley, Michigan. After graduation from Buckley High School, she went on to have a successful career as an Insurance Agent, finding many long-time friends along the way.

She was always positive, looking for the good in all things. Pat was an avid reader and enjoyed the simple things in life.

In 1973 she married her high school sweetheart Allen Gene Youker, going on to have a daughter Alaina. Patricia was a wonderful Mother, Wife, and Best Friend. Patricia excelled at propping up members of her circle and supporting them through the many passions and difficulties of their lives. Her light improved the light of others.

Patricia was always great with fashion and enjoyed an afternoon "putzing" around at stores or rearranging and decorating the house. When she wasn't filling her home with warmth and kindness, she could be found spending time up North at the cabin or with her grandkids, Audric and Nell. We will all miss her greatly.
Patricia leaves behind her husband, Allen Youker and daughter Alaina Potes (husband Ryan Potes) grandkids Audric and Nell Potes; brothers and sisters Tom (Marlene) Lhamon, Tim (Rena) Lhamon, Jim (Harriett) Acre, Millie (Doug) Salensky, Ernie (Tina) Lhamon, and Jeff (Theresa) Lhamon; and a host of nieces, nephews, friends, and relatives.

A service celebrating Patricia's life will be held at the Buckley Tabernacle Friday August 5, at 1:00PM. Visitation will begin at 11:00 AM and continue until the time of service. All are welcome to come as you are and share in her celebration of life. Memories and condolences may also be shared on Pat's tribute page, www.reynolds-jonkhoff.com

Patricia came from a long line of spunky, outgoing women. Even while fighting cancer, she found a way to look for the joy in a good meal with good company, a sunny day, or just having one more day together.
We enjoyed her spark, loved her laugh, insights, advice, ability to chat with anyone and zest for life.
