Obituary

Patricia Jaffray, 78, of Billings, left us reluctantly on Thursday, April 6, 2017. Daughter of Tim and Grace, Patty O'Leary went to Central High and on to Sacred Heart of Spokane to become a registered nurse. Later she started raising her sons, Mark and Tim, in California and then settled back into Billings in the late 1970s. Pat became a local Billings business woman running the Professional Nursing Personnel Pool. An avid supporter of many local community groups and causes, Pat loved Billings and its people. Pat loved to share friends and fun. She strived to do good works. Extraordinarily loved by friends and family, Grandma "Patty Cakes" will be missed. Memorial Services to be held at St. Patrick Co-Cathedral Church Monday, April 17, 2017 at 10 a.m.

Patty was a Bright Star that was always shining, EVERY time I saw her. To Mark and Tim, I know that no matter how old you are, you are never really ready to let go of your Mom. To Aunt Kay, I know the loss of your best friend and partner in crime is devastating. I am praying that God brings you all comfort and Peace in the knowledge that this wonderful lady is no longer suffering and that you will see her again, someday. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Pat brought lots of laughter, joy, energy, caring, compassion and concern to this world. Sincere kindness and acceptance were other gifts she shared with those she encountered. She loved her family, friends and community so much, and was truly loved in return by so many. She made everyone feel very special... SHE was very special, and I am grateful for the blessing of our wonderful long friendship. Liz Pearce

I am truly sorry for the loss and pain that Mark, Tim and the Jaffray family and friends are feeling because of losing Patty recently in death. Most of us have had to endure the sorrow of losing a loved one in death. What helped me the most was prayer and faith in God's promises like found here at 1 Corinthians 15: 26 and it tells us: "And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing." God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises, including the resurrection. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection. (John 5:28, John 6:40, John 11:23-25) Also, Titus 1: 2 tells us this promise of a resurrection: "is based on a hope of the everlasting life that God, who cannot lie, promised long ago." Isaiah 26:19 "Your dead will live......And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever. For Jehovah himself has spoken it." For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt. It has given me hope, strengthened my faith and helped me find the answer to Why? I know it will do the same for you. Jehovah (Psalm 83:18) invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. Again, the family is in my prayers and I offer my heartfelt condolences.

I had hoped to meet Pat's sons to tell them this story. I have the greatest respect for Pat because of something she did about 20 +- years ago. I had listed for sale her Bed & Breakfast . An offer came in from Planned Parenthood. I presented the offer to Pat, telling her that I could not accept a commission involving Planned Parenthood, because I saw that commission as " blood money". She accepted my stance, refused the offer, and would not accept another offer from them. I was humbled by her position. Thank You Pat. Enjoy Heaven. Donna Bliss 406-671-7070
