PATRICIA KEDDIE STARLING

Patricia Keddie Starling went on to be with the Lord Sunday, October 5th. She died peacefully in her sleep at her residence after a short battle with illness. She was 74 years old.

Pat was born on an Easter Sunday in St. Petersburg, Florida where she was raised by her immigrant father, Charlie Keddie of Llanfairfechan North Wales and her mother Bernice Elizabeth Renney a Florida native. She graduated from St. Petersburg High School and attended Wesleyan College.

Pat was an avid Gator fan, enjoyed a good game of golf and was a lover of animals.
