Patricia L. Boonstra, 88, passed away early Sunday morning, February 25, 2018 while at home. She was born July 1, 1929 to William and Ottilie (Matthes) Keast in Adrian, MI. She married Richard N. Boonstra in Detroit, MI during the summer of 1952. Pattis was a life well lived, and a life well loved. Born and raised in Michigan, she married her college sweetheart (Go Blue!), and raised her family in northeast Ohio. She was an Early Education Teacher; and was involved in many civic organizations in both Mentor and Madison, including The Western Reserve Junior Service League (charter member), Lake County Historical Society, AAUW of Mentor, Madison Historical Society, Western Reserve Fine Arts Association, Creative Artists Association and Art Essence Gallery. She was Partner, Chief Morale Officer (and occasional referee) in the family business, Bluestone Perennials, with her husband and family. Summers were spent on the water in Michigan at the family cottage, and on their sailboat in the Georgian Bay. She was an award winning artist, accomplished pianist and lifelong lover of art, music, and dance. Her artwork can be seen at www.pattiboonstra.com. She had many deep friendships that she cherished. She will be remembered as a lovely, vivacious lady with an ever-present smile, who was warm and welcoming to everyone. Her sense of style, fashion, and fun made her a joy to be around. She cherished her family above all, and will be sorely missed. Patti loved fresh flowers, but the family would also like to acknowledge the incredible support and care received from Great Lakes Caring and Hospice, 5966 Heisley Rd. #100 Mentor, OH 44060, where donations may be made in Pattis name.
