Patricia Ann Felton Born October 18, 1950, passed June 7, 2024.
Patty was born to Cork and Dorothea Felton in the fall of 1950, and raised in Longville, Minnesota, with her siblings, David and Beverly.
After summers working at the A & W and graduating in 1968, she left for the big city and attended the Minnesota School of Business. After successfully completing her courses, she went to work at IDS in downtown Minneapolis where she would meet some lifelong friends. Wanting to return closer to home, Patty took a position at Lindy Little Joe in Brainerd where she would find herself for 34 years growing her position and friendships.
In the 1980's she would start her own endeavor, Panda Products, bringing jobs to the people of Haiti until a change in government halted operations. Moving around the area a couple of times, she founded the "Round Lake Ramada" in Nisswa; her home was a meeting place for family and friends for many years. The Ramada would host parties and celebrations and family weekends with her niece and great niece. After she left Lindy, it was decided that Patty and Bev would return to the Longville area to be closer to their Mother, so they purchased the "Hilton on Heffon Lake", where coffee remains brewing to this day for friendly visits and family gatherings.
Through the years Patty enjoyed watching basketball, football, playing cards and marbles, creating memories, and devoting her time to her family. After fighting cancer and a debilitating stroke she was greeted in death by her mother, father, grandparents, aunts, and uncles on Friday, June 7th, at The Emeralds of Grand Rapids with her sister by her side.
Services will be held at 11 AM on Friday, June 14, 2024, at Salem Lutheran Church in Longville, MN. A visitation will be held one hour prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers, a gift to a charity of your choice is appreciated.
Arrangements are entrusted to Kline and Brenny Funeral Home, Pine River.
