In loving memory ~
1944 - 2024
It is with sadness that we announce the loss of our Paddy on September 7, 2024.
Born in North Vancouver to John and Phyllis Sutherland, the second of three daughters, Paddy spent her childhood and school years on the North Shore. Despite her abiding love for fashion and a desire for a career in that field, her long held dream of a ranch and lots and lots of horses won out. The dream came true when she met "Cowboy Bob" and they moved first to Enderby and then to Anarchist Mountain. After many years of raising Quarter Horses and travelling the race circuit as trainers, they eventually moved to Summerland and settled in beautiful Meadow Valley, until Bob's death in 2012. After a struggle with Parkinson's disease, Paddy left us to join Bob and their many beloved horses and dogs.
Paddy is survived by her sisters, Phyllis Matthews(Dale) and Nora Schierman (Grant), niece Jenny (Jason), nephew John (Barb), stepson Rob Owens (Nattia) and great niece Chevy Matthews. The family sends a heartful thank you to everyone at Penticton Regional and Mariposa Gardens Long Term Care that cared for Paddy in the past few months.
A celebration of Paddy's life will be held on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2024-2:00PM, at Everden Rust Funeral Services, 1130 Carmi Ave., Penticton with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Paddy would be very much appreciated and can be sent to Parkinson Society British Columbia www.parkinson.bc.ca
