Patricia Ann Ibbotson Obituary

Patricia Ibbotson, RN passed peacefully in her sleep on June 22, 2022. Pat was born November 17 1940 to Russell and Sophia Ibbotson in Detroit Michigan. She graduated from Dearborn High School in 1958 with honors. Nursing and caregiving were an important part of Pat's life. She took great pride in helping others. Patricia graduated from Mercy School of Nursing School in Detroit in 1961. Upon graduation she took a position with Wayne County General Hospital. She worked there for nearly 25 years providing care to the sick, indigent and mentally ill. She would work another 15 years as a nurse at Ford Motor Company World Headquarters. Her experience at Wayne County General Hospital inspired her to explore its history. In 2004 she published "Eloise. Poorhouse, Farm, Asylum, and Hospital. 1839 - 1984". Patricia went on to write several other historical books about Detroit's hospitals, cemeteries, and hotels. She also volunteered at Dearborn Historical Society and was an ongoing member of Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum. She enjoyed a lifelong interest in Genealogy. She spent many years of research into her family’s history which traced multiple generations and to distant homelands. Pat traveled the world on many cruises, and other trips especially to Europe. Pat was a loving sister, aunt and cousin. She is survived by her sister Madeline Faloon and her loving family. Passionate about animals and pets, Pat rescued and adopted several cats over the years. A graveside service will be held on July 20, 2022 at 11:00 AM at St. Hedwig Cemetery in Dearborn (23755 Military Drive, Dearborn Heights, Michigan 48127.)
