Patricia (Carey) Walstad of White Bear Lake, died on November 12 at age 93.

Preceded in death by husband Lyle, sister Susie Rudow, brothers Dan (Carol) and Jerry (Donna) Carey, parents Josephine (Lichtenberg) Prescott and David Carey.
Pat worked with Lyle in their businesses including a Pure Oil Station then a General Store in Warba, MN. Later, they built and ran the DQ Brazier in Mahtomedi with all their kids working alongside them. Pat drove school bus 18 years in White Bear Lake--really enjoying the youngest children. Upon retiring, Pat loved fishing, wintering in Gulf Shores, Alabama, playing cards, birding, crafting gifts for others and doing puzzles. After moving to Cerenity Assisted Living with her cat Pesky, she made new friends and chose to sponsor a monthly pizza party for residents since pizza was never on the menu. Pat was a good listener and a prolific letter writer. Many enjoyed receiving a birthday or greeting card from her. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
