Patricia Ann Dussling
Of Arlington Heights

Patricia Ann Dussling (nee Innes), 69, passed away peacefully October 20, 2012 at home. She was born in Yonkers, New York on April 8, 1943 to Mary E. and Henry B. Innes.

Pat lived in various places growing up. She and her family moved to Battle Creek, Michigan where she attended grade school and St. Phillip’s High School.

She graduated from Ripon College, Ripon, Wisconsin where she met her husband, Bill. Upon graduation Pat and Bill were married February 20, 1965. They have been married 47 years. In 1979 they moved to Arlington Heights where they raised their three children.

Pat was a marvelous artist working in various mediums—oils, pencil and clay. She was pleased to share her art work with others and enjoyed seeing the pleasure they caused.

Pat was a loving and caring wife and mother. She had an engaging personality, always quick to laugh and a great support for her family in any situation. She is survived by her husband, Bill; her children, Matthew of Austin, Texas, Katherine (Kenny) Becker of Edison Park, Illinois, and Jessica (Sam) Krueckeberg of Brooklyn, New York. She was so pleased with her grandchildren, Katherine Dussling, Dietrich, and Alexis Becker, and enjoyed their great company and love. She is also survived by her mother, Mary Clark of Battle Creek, Michigan; her sister, Catherine (Kingsley Martin) Murray of Chicago; and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws.

Pat’s husband, Bill and her family offer their sincere thank you to Rainbow Hospice for the care that they provided for Pat. They offer special thanks to Marilyn Moshe of Gero Solutions, an angel care giver that never left Pat’s side during the past three weeks.
