Patricia Ann Robinson McAnally
Obituary
Patricia "Pat" Ann Raven Robinson McAnally, 84, a long time resident of Gilroy, Ca. left this world as we know it on October 3, 2023.
"Somewhere a journey begins at the end of the the worldly existence we know,
Somewhere a path stretches over the stars and rivers of memories flow...
Somewhere a silence is heard far away and the brightness of day fills the night,
Where the trials of life are resolved into peace when a soul finds its way to the light."
Pat is survived by her husband, Dale McAnally; her devoted, loving children: Kenneth Robinson, Christie Robinson, Lamela-Rose, Jeffrey Robinson and his twin, Julie Robinson. Pat is survived by her adoring grandchildren, Elizabeth Rooney, Sarah Robinson-Anguiano, Eric Featherstone, Brandon Lamela, Mitch Robinson, Kim Ward, Kenny Robinson, Clarie Kay, Valerie Prusa and her twin Vanessa Carlson, Jeffrey Robinson, Joshua Gibson, Claire Gibson and many great-grandchildren.
Pat lived a full life and traveled the world even after becoming a Type 1 Diabetic at the age of 21. She was an advocate on living a productive life. She volunteered at the Diabetes Society and assisted Juvenile Diabetics on trips and outings. Pat maintained her health by going to all MD appointments and procedures. Pat spoke at Diabetic conventions letting younger diabetics know they too can live many years, well into their 80's by making healthy lifestyle choices. She gave them encouragement and hope.
A Celebration of Life with family and friends will be held in the Spring, which was her favorite time of the year.
Pat will be greatly missed by all who knew her!
