Patricia Lee Decker

Patricia (McGinnis) Decker (Pat) was born on July 17th, 1948 to Aurthur “Paul” and Hazel McGinnis in Yuma, AZ. After graduating from Kofa High School class of 66’, she attended classes at Arizona Western College. She then moved to Durango, Colorado to help her sister Shirley. The decision to enroll in courses at Fort Lewis lead her to meet the love of her life, Timothy (Tim) Decker. They were married on April Fool’s Day. In their 57 years of marriage, they settled on raising the family in Montrose, CO. They travelled the world together for both business and pleasure. In addition to being a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend, she was a business owner, with her favorite business being her beloved antique shop. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived and missed dearly by her husband, Tim; Sisters: Shirley McGinnis and Sharon Shepherd; Children: Tammi Wright (Rick) and Jasen Decker; five grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by both parents, and sisters Marjorie Grimm, and Charlotte Ralle.

Private services will be held for the family and close friends, with a Celebration of life for all that knew and loved her in July.
