Patricia Duncan (Brown) Berdan passed away peacefully on October 25, 2021 in her home in Cowarts, Alabama with her caring and attentive husband, Lloyd, at her side.
Born on October 29, 1939, Patty was the second of five children. She was raised in Marne and graduated from Berlin High School. For over 20 years she worked for Kenowa Hills Schools as the Zinser Elementary secretary.
Patty was always eager to help and befriend others. She sometimes brought food to the homes of families from her school who were in need. She took in foster children. She was available to listen to and counsel people going through difficult times. She used her sewing and artistic talents to bring joy to others, often by creating unique gifts for those around her. She was end-of-life caregiver for not only her husband Ken, but also for her aunt, her close friend Nancy Taylor, and her special friend Jack. Patty will be missed by many.
Patricia was preceded in death by her parents, Lamoyne and Ella Duncan, and by her husband of 44 years, Kenneth Brown. She leaves behind her husband of 10 years, Lloyd Berdan, daughters: Jill (Joe) Brown, Ginger (Roger) Wieringa, Jenifer (Eric) Klein, 8 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, siblings: Barbara (Mike) Brown, Shirley (Ron) Fritz, David (June) Duncan, Kenneth (Mary) Duncan.
