Patrick, Daisy

Peacefully at Osgoode Care Centre, Metcalfe, ON on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 in her 104th year.  Predeceased by 2 husbands, Kenneth Robins and Edmund Patrick.

Survived by her 5 children – Joyce Pritchard (late Allen) of Oshawa, Doris McCleery (late Brian), (Jim Hicks) of Norwood, Clarence Robins (Sheila) of Lindsay, David Robins, (Sue) of Guelph, and Lisle Robins, (Brenda) of Belleville.

Born on April 5th, 1919 in Durban, Manitoba, to pioneering parents, Richard Thomas Bateman and Mary Anne (Minnie) nee Ferguson. Daisy was born and raised on the homestead cleared by her father in the late 1800s.  The farm remained in the Bateman family until earlier this year.

Daisy, one of 9 children, was predeceased by her siblings and their spouses: Eva Rolls (Harold), Bessie Riehl (Clayton), James Bateman (died at 34 days of age), Clayton Bateman (Dorothy), Ivan Bateman (May), Violet Zander (Knut), Marjorie Kosolowski (Mike), Major Thomas, aka Mick Bateman (Evelyn), and her eldest grandson, Lisle McCleery.  Eva lived to 103 years and Bessie to 110 & ½ years.  Mom always said she wanted to live at least as long as Eva, and God spared her for a month beyond.

Daisy is survived by 19 grandchildren, 38 great grandchildren, 4 great, great grandchildren, as well as nieces and nephews too numerous to mention by name.

Always a hard worker, Daisy sewed and gardened to add to her earnings as a stitcher for 26 years at the Bata Shoe Factory in Campbellford, while raising her family.

Proud of her prairie roots, Daisy made many trips across the west in her Volkswagen Camper van to visit with family & friends.

She was a talented & largely self-taught seamstress, needlewoman, craftperson, gardener & handywoman.  4 generations of her offspring have treasured items, handcrafted specifically & lovingly for them by Mom/Grandma/Nana/Nanny Patrick.
