Patricia Ann Watkins, age 72, formerly of Dexter, Michigan.
Our beloved mother, Patricia Ann Watkins, passed away on July 5, 2025 after a lengthy illness. She leaves behind her daughter, Stephanie L. Adams of Dexter, MI, and her son, Patrick M. Hoey of Wixom, MI.
She was born on August 10, 1952, in Garden City, MI, to parents, Charles and Dorothy Watkins, who preceded her in death, as well as her brother, Guy Watkins, sister-in-law, Paula Watkins, nephew, Hayden Watkins, and brother-in-law, Dennis Ferrell.
Those who remain are her sisters, Judy Ferrell, Debbie (Bob) Giggey, Kathy (John) Carroll, and Connie (Marc) Toma, sister-in-law, Roxanne Watkins, and many nieces and nephews.
Patty will be remembered as a loving and devoted mother to her children, and for her love of her parents. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed planning birthday and Christmas parties for her kids, making them as special as she could. Patty’s strength of spirit helped to guide her through the complexities of life, while raising her disabled daughter for as long as she was physically able until her illness.
There will be a private service for immediate family with interment at Washtenong Memorial Park.
For those who wish to donate, memorial contributions may be made to the Just Us Club of Ann Arbor, MI.
The family would like to express their appreciation to WellBridge of Pinckney and Residential Hospice for their compassionate care and friendship.
Arrangements by Staffan-Mitchell Funeral Home.
