Patricia N. Earl, age 92, of Ann Arbor, MI, passed away on November 2, 2025 at her home. Patricia was born on August 10, 1933 in Memphis, TN, the daughter of Robert and Elsie (Buckley) Pryor.
Patricia grew up in Ann Arbor and graduated from Ann Arbor High School. She met her husband, William V. Earl, on a blind date. They were married on July 28, 1952 and enjoyed 69 years of marriage until his death in 2021. Patricia worked as a camera operator for many years at Braun-Brumfield, alongside her husband, Bill.
Known for her kind heart and nurturing spirit, she raised five children, and more than that, babysitting for many children over the years. A devoted homemaker, Patricia found great joy in cooking, baking, and reading. She especially enjoyed novels by Danielle Steel.
Patricia is survived by a daughter, Jill M. Jack, and a son, Brian D. Earl, both of Ann Arbor; nine grandchildren: Patricia (Brian), Michelle, Amanda (Kevin), Nicole, Timothy, Charlotte, Katie, Jennifer (Patrick), and Tara; 20 great-grandchildren; and a sister, Diedra K. McCalla of Tennessee. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill; a daughter, Deborah Costello; two sons, Robert Earl and Thomas Earl; and three siblings: Richard Pryor, Robert Pryor, and Peggy Pryor.
A private service will be held at a later date.
Arrangements by Staffan-Mitchell Funeral Home.
