Pattie & Nate were kinda like an extra set of parents to me for alot of my life. Through good times and some bad times, there was nobody who played Switzerland better than Pattie. I thank you for many many years of neighbourly friendship, my childhood best friend Jamie & all the years I drove taxi for you. There were plenty of stressful times, but equally as many laughs. From late nights drinkies after getting the last customers home safely, right into dawn hours. To getting yelled at by you lol I will miss you dearly Pattie. My heart has a special place for you & Nathan and always will. My condolences and love to Natalie & Jamie, & the girls…always. Tell Nate I said hi, & we’ll see you again. Love Scott

Condolence from Cheryl Landry on February 28th, 2024 6:45 PM

I met Patti when I was 16. We became fast friends. Everyone said with our curly hair we looked like sisters, we loved Ike sisters. I will forever be grateful for everything Pat and Nate did for me. Every time we spoke, you said you missed Nathan and how hard it was without him. I know he welcomes you with open arms.
I will miss and love you forever 💞
Until we meet again my friend 🙏

Condolence from William Cookson on February 28th, 2024 9:11 PM

I am shocked to hear of the passing of Pattie from my Mom, Kathy Wettlaufer. I was one of the kids that used the services of B&B when she drove us to Robertson Memorial (Now Goderich) Public School when I was around the age of eight and nine in third grade. I have been using her service since B&B went out of business and I liked the service she provided and it showed that she learned quite a bit from the Bettles family including Barb, Bev and their Mom. My sincerest condolences.

Condolence from Jim Bissett on February 28th, 2024 10:11 PM

I many fond memories of Pat and Nathan . My condolences to the Family .

Condolence from Lyn Brown on February 28th, 2024 11:39 PM

Wow- this is sad 😞 I can hear her voice as clear as day! While I didn’t know her well, she was so nice to me, and her voice as familiar as Goderich itself- she will be so missed!

Condolence from Kim & Travis Teed on February 29th, 2024 2:44 AM

Natalie, Paul, Jamie and family – we were so saddened to hear about your mom. We will miss her dearly. Sending all the prayers and hugs you’ll need to get you through the tough days. – Kim & Travis

Condolence from Sharon Cousins on February 29th, 2024 10:44 PM

My sincere condolences to Natalie. Paul, Jamie and all of Pattie’s family. Pattie was a fantastic, caring and giving person. For many years she provided free taxi service for the Cuzzy Bear golf players ensuring they were transported home from the course to Goderich and also supplied taxi staff to drive their vehicles home which was a great relief to me so that I didn’t need to worry about people drinking and driving. She would never accept payment for this no matter how many times I tried to give her money. She will never be forgotten nor will her generosity or kindness. Sharon Cousins

Condolence from David & Virginia Caesar on March 4th, 2024 3:26 PM

To Natalie & Paul, Jamie, grandchildren and family we were so sorry to learn of Patti’s passing. I (Gini) got to know Patti & Nathan through work: they were always available when I needed to arrange transportation for a Crown witness, wherever and whenever the pickup was. Goderich has now lost two very special people, but it is comforting to know Patti and Nathan are together once again.
