Patricia Ann Robards of Chelsea, age 83, died Thursday, April 2, 2020 at Chelsea Retirement Community.
She was born March 17, 1937 in Waterloo Township, the daughter of Joseph S. and Geraldine B. (Curry) Siegrist.
Pat graduated from Grass Lake High School in 1955 and remained in contact with many of her childhood friends through the years. Pat was a beloved mother and grandmother. As a mother, she was always there to help her children in any way possible. As a grandmother, she never missed a grandchild’s special day. She was special to each one of her grandchildren and was affectionately known among the grandkids as “Grandma Grape”, as she always had frozen grapes for a snack in the freezer.
Pat was a life-long volunteer in the Chelsea community. She gave countless hours of service to the schools, to the community and to her church. She volunteered as President of the Chelsea Athletic Boosters and was a devoted member of the First Congregational Church.
She was an example of selfless service to all. Most recently she was a resident at The Pines Apartments in Chelsea where she had many dear friends. She enjoyed being involved in the on-site activities and playing euchre on Monday evenings.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, 2021 at the First Congregational Church in Chelsea, with Rev. Dr. Barbara Edema officiating. Masks will be required.
