Jan. 26, 1939 - Nov. 23, 2010
Pat Haavisto passed away in her home on November 23, 2010, of natural causes.
Patricia Ann Martenson was born in 1939, to Andrew Martenson and Margaret C. Matthews in Seaview, Washington. She grew up on the Long Beach Peninsula among the fishing boats, shipwrecks and oyster beds that are characteristic of the area. The oldest of six children, she was raised in a house built by her grandfather that is now listed in the Washington State Historical Society.
On March 16, 1954, she was inducted into the Order of Rainbow for Girls and became an honorary lifetime member upon her marriage. She attended Evergreen Girls State which provided American citizenship training in all Departments of the American Legion Auxiliary in Ellensburg, Washington, in 1955 where she participated in the girls' state choir. She graduated from Ilwaco High School in 1956, where she was the secretary treasurer of her junior class.
She married William (Bill) C. Haavisto (1938 to 2005) on March 5, 1957.
During that time, Bill was stationed in Portsmouth, Virginia, and later stationed in San Diego, where he was discharged from the Navy and where they then raised four children.
Pat was very involved in the PTA while her children were growing up. She worked in the Medical Records department at Sharp Hospital in San Diego and continued her career at St. Charles Medical Center in both Redmond and Bend starting in 1990, when she and Bill moved to Redmond. She retired in March 2010.
She is survived by a brother and sister, two half-brothers, four children, six grandchildren, one step-grandchild and five great-grandchildren.
Her favorite pastimes were camping and off-roading in the desert east of San Diego, family genealogy and grave hunting, beach combing and keeping up with the times of her birthplace by reading the Chinook Observer, a local newspaper of the peninsula. She was also an avid reader and admirer of Pacific Coast Lighthouses. One of her favorite hobbies was buying, selling and collecting antique glassware, which she sold in local antique shops.
Continuously smiling, everyone that met Pat was blessed by her happiness and lighthearted humor. She will be missed and remembered by all that she connected with.
Respecting her wishes, there will be no formal memorial service, however, the family is planning a celebration of life reception for next spring to honor both Pat and Bill.
Condolences to the family may be sent to 4770 NW Maple Ave. Redmond, OR 97756.
