Patty Grinolds Skakles

Patty Grinolds Skakles
On January 23, the Angels came and took a beautiful life to Heaven. The skies were much brighter, but our hearts so much heavier.
Patty Grinolds was born in Butte, Montana on Aug. 24, 1951 to Jack and Darlene Grinolds, third child of six, Judy, Sandy, Patty, Johnny, Dan and Dale. She loved her siblings, especially her day-to-day talks with Sandy.
But most of all she loved her two children Duane and Chelle, and added to that her beautiful grandkids Amanda, Alexis, Justine and Dustin, and her beautiful great-grandkids Eliana, Amara, Madison and Gunnar, and added to that Rachel and Ella and Kizah, and Amanda’s husband Francisco and Justine’s husband Bryce.
Patty loved life, fun, the outdoors (Sun), and hard work. If she ever told you she loved you, she meant it. She spoke and lived the truth. She was simple and beautiful. She would say to all of you, “Don’t cry ‘cause it’s over, smile ‘cause it happened.”
Patty was preceded in death by her mom and dad, her grammas and grampas, her mothers- and fathers-in-law, brother-in-law Greg Skakles and precious Rachel Calder.
She is survived by her husband Kiki Skakles, her daughter Chelle and family, her son Duane, Kansis and Brier, daughter-in-law Terrie Pyeatt, her sisters Sandy James and family, Judy Petritz and family, Dan and family, Dale and Mary Carroll and family, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Cookie and Ron Johnson and family, Nancy Skakles and family, Edie Cartwright, adopted family Diane Salle and family and John Prige and family, and our great neighbors and friends.
Dance with the Angels our precious one.
