Pat was born in Port Angeles on June 17, 1926, to Hazel and Harold Parks.
Pat loved her family, friends and the Lord above all else. All who knew her appreciated her beautiful smile, graciousness and humor.
Her passions included camping, clam digging, traveling, reading and spending time outdoors.
She was always supportive of her children and grandchildren, always there to cheer them on in whatever they did. Hers was always the loudest voice at basketball games as she cheered her children and grandchildren on.
Pat is survived by her children and their spouses, Vali (Mark) Groening, Bill (Dana) and Don, all in Washington, and Jim (Iris) in Eagle River, Alaska; and siblings Ron Parks, Chuck (Cheryl) Parks, Dave (Jo) Parks, Mike Parks, Jenny (Ed) Jacobson and Sam (Donna) Parks.
Pat was preceded in death by her loving husband of 57 years, James Robert Vail; her mother and father; and her brother Jerry Parks.
A memorial service will be held at Edmonds Open Bible Church, 657 Daley Street, Edmonds, on Saturday, March 16, at 11:30 a.m.
Donations in her memory may be made to Evergreen Hospice, 12822 124th Lane Northeast, Kirkland, WA 98034; or Ted Vail's Hope Boulder Community Outreach.
