July 29, 1951 - June 2, 2014

~



After a long and fulfilling life, on June 2, 2014, Heaven was blessed with an angel, Patricia Ann McKelvy (Patti).

Patti was born in Richland on July 29, 1951. She was the second daughter to Leo and Virginia Warren and sister to Janet Warren Badden ('73) and Barb Warren McInturf ('66).

Patti graduated from Richland's Columbia High School in 1969, and married Michael McKelvy April 11, 1970.

Forty-four beautiful years together they celebrated through the good times and bad, through thick and thin. Together they had three beautiful and talented children: Ryan Warren McKelvy and his wife, Chau; Ginny Lee Hubbard and her husband, Daniel; and Megan Michelle McKelvy and partner, Neil. She was blessed with two grandsons, Daniel Michael Hubbard and Connor Truong McKelvy.

Patti recently retired from the Benton County Auditor's Office where she will be deeply missed as she was known for her knowledge, dedication and work ethic. She spent weekends and any spare time at Rag Time Antiques where she thoroughly enjoyed the people she worked with. Prior to that, she worked for the Giant Nickel where she made lifelong friendships.

Patti deeply loved her family and friends and enjoyed going to Mariners games, having Sunday dinners, traveling or dancing with those she loved.

Although we had to say goodbye to Patricia too soon, the love she gave to those in her life will live on forever in our hearts.

Patti's celebration of life was held at Einan's Events at Sunset at 7pm on Friday, June 6, 2014.
