Patricia "Patti"` Kakaley's Obituary
Kakaley, Patricia “Patti”
Somerset Center, Michigan
Patricia Marie Kakaley, 78, passed away April 21, 2020. She was born on October 11, 1941, in Detroit, Michigan to Clarence and Marie (Geil)Foley. Patti married, Karl Kakaley, on June 25, 1992, in Gibraltar, Michigan. She will be remembered for her positive attitude and happy soul. Patti was fiercely independent, liking to do things herself, yet never complaining. She could find the good in everyone, with a smile on her face. Her favorite saying was “make a sunny day even in the pouring rain”. Patti was a member of the Ford Yacht Club and loved being on the water, sailing. She also enjoyed quilting and painting. Patti and Karl lived on Crystal Lake where they made many good friends and hosted the annual “3 Soup Sunday” for many years. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Pat will be missed by her husband Karl; her children, Karen (Mark) Rodgers, Keith (Megan) Walker, Karl J. (Jennifer) Kakaley, Kristopher P. Kakaley and Lisa K. (Joseph) Koss; grandchildren Kristina “Bean”(Steven) Allen, Zachary Rodgers, Samantha Walker, Jacob Walker, Alyssa K. Kakaley, Jessica J. Kakaley, Cristina (Cody) Piekarz and Kendra Koss; several nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, brother, and sister-in-law Ron (Lynn) Foley and daughter-in-law Julie Walker.
