Remembrances

Patricia Ann Burger, 64 of Billings passed away on March 21, 2007 following a lengthy battle with Multiple Sclerosis.  Patricia was born on October 28, 1942 in Billings, MT to Clyde and Alma Thomas.  She grew up on the family ranch near Moore, MT, graduating from high school there in 1960

She went on to attend college at Eastern in Billings before moving to Powell, WY, where she met Orville Burger.  Patricia and Orville were married on November 29, 1963.  They were blessed with 3 children, Kevin, Kimberlee and Krista.

Pat and Orville loved to travel, visiting nearly every state and also Europe.  While visiting Hawaii, she was introduced to her favorite drink, the Mai Tai!  Patricia loved to dance, play the piano and enjoyed bingo.  She was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother and took her duties very seriously.  She always saw good in others and lived life with a positive attitude, even after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1991.

In 2004, Patricia moved to St. John’s Lutheran Home, due to the progression of her illness.  It was there that she acquired many wonderful friends, not only in the other residents, but also the staff.  They grew to love her very much.

Patricia’s family would like to thank the staff at St. John’s for their constant care and love they provided and for becoming part of her extended family.

She is survived by her husband Orville Burger of Billings; children, Kevin (Gretna) Burger of Peachtree City, GA, Kimberlee (Mark) McConnell of Somerset, PA; and Krista (Scott) Eaton of Fort Collins, CO; grandchildren Connor, Kylie, and Kenna McConnell; sister Sharon (Gary) Drake; and brothers Don (Barbara) Thomas and Verland (Erlyne) Thomas.
