Patricia "Pat" A. Randerson

Patricia “Pat” Ann Randerson, 78, of Pecatonica, passed away on Sunday, October 25, 2015; at home with her son and daughter-in-law by her side. Pat was born in Rockford on September 6, 1937; to parents Everett and Jennett (Taft) Randerson. She was a 1955 graduate of West High School, and went on to receive her Associates Degree from Rock Valley College in Business Administration. Pat worked at Twin Disc for 34 years, working her way up to assistant buyer before retiring in 1995. Pat loved to bowl, knit, crocheting, but her biggest enjoyment was watching the Green Bay Packers with her daughter-in-law, watching Clay Matthews “strut his stuff” as she would say. Pat gave us her love and sense of humor to the end, and she will be dearly missed.
Pat is survived by her son, Rick (Vickie) Randerson of Pecatonica; brothers, William (Jeanette) Randerson of Sun City, AZ, Richard (Carmen) Randerson of Rockford; and several nieces and nephews. Pat had a very special place in her heart for nieces, Becky (Dave) Hilton and Cheryl (Denny) Armato. She was so proud of them and had the biggest smile on her face when she spoke of them. She is also survived by her beloved cats, King George and Spookie Girl; and her very good friend, Martha Remmers. The family would like to thank VNA Hospice Nurses, Amber and Rose for everything they did for us and Mom.
Pat is predeceased by her parents; sister, Jessie Heisler; brother, Edward Randerson; nieces, Debbie Guldin and Cynthia Rothenbuehler; and best friend Sam.
Per her request, there will be a private family celebration of Pat’s life. Memorial donations may be given to St. Judes Childrens Hospital. Funeral arrangements cared for by Fitzgerald Funeral Home, 3910 N. Rockton Ave., Rockford, IL, 61103.
