That's sad She had a long life, and they must have had a good relationship to last so long. They were lucky. Some don't find that in their lifetime.
I talked with Don a few years ago, and had to retell the story about him letting me sit in his car at the 1963 U.S. Nationals. :-)
I remember Pat being there with him many times.

From Don himself:
Dear Friends,
My dear wife of nearly 61 years left this world and went over to the other
side at 5:53 PM, this afternoon. She has been suffering a lot these last few...
days and it was a Blessing to see God take her into His care. I will miss
her very badly, but will be with her sooner than I realize, as time is very
different here that over there. She passed at home with her two Daughters at
her side and me holding her hand and a little Yorkie dog on each side of
her. She went without making a sound and this house is going to be very
quiet for a while. I had "Glenn Miller" playing in the background, as that
was her favorite "Big Band". I will let everyone know what the Arrangements
will be when I know myself. Thanks for all the Prayers and support through
this terrible ordeal.
Sincerely,
Don Garlits
