In Loving Memory of Patricia Lee Devenny
Patricia Lee Devenny, born on January 3, 1940, in Tacoma, Washington, peacefully passed away on November 16, 2023, in Federal Way, Washington, at the age of 83. She was surrounded by the love of her family as she embarked on her next journey.
Patricia, fondly known as Pat, entered into matrimony with the love of her life on November 26, 1967. Throughout their journey together, she and her husband, Kenneth I Devenny, Jr., built a life filled with love, laughter, and enduring commitment. Together, they created a legacy of warmth and family values that will forever be cherished.
Family was the cornerstone of Pat's life, and her dedication to her children and grandchildren was unparalleled. She poured her heart into nurturing her family, finding joy and fulfillment in the moments spent with them. Her love knew no bounds, and she leaves behind a legacy of unwavering devotion.
In her younger days, Pat showcased her skills as a pool shark, demonstrating a flair for competition and a love for the game. Her enthusiasm for friendly competition extended to games and cards, where she reveled in the camaraderie of family and friends. Pat's competitive spirit was matched only by her ability to create delicious meals in the kitchen, leaving a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to savor her culinary creations.
Pat had a special affinity for the color pink, symbolizing the vibrancy and joy she brought into the lives of those around her. Her love for babies was evident in the tenderness with which she cared for the youngest members of her family. Tasha, her late dog, held a special place in her heart, and their companionship brought comfort and joy to both.
Patricia Lee Devenny is survived by her loving son, Thomas Devenny, and his wife Shellie, her son Timothy Devenny, her cherished granddaughter Megan Gates, and her grandson Kenneth Devenny. She is now reunited in the afterlife with her predeceased daughter Tamara Kay Devenny, her beloved husband Kenneth I Devenny, Jr., her parents, and her brother.
As we mourn the passing of this remarkable woman, let us also celebrate the beautiful life she lived, the love she shared, and the memories that will forever linger in our hearts. Patricia's legacy lives on through the lives she touched, and her spirit will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know and love her.
Pat's family would also like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Avalon Care Center in Federal Way and to her closest life-long friends for the love and care they extended to her in her final days.
May she rest in eternal peace.
