Lewis, Patricia Marie,
A long-time Novi resident, Patti was born on February 28, 1943 in Detroit to the late Madeline and Frank Kondracke. Her younger sister, Madeline Susan Kondracke, is also deceased. Her surviving cousins are Maureen Wakenell and James A. Armstrong. Patti joined her heavenly family on December 23, 2015, after a courageous battle with multiple sclerosis as well as lung and brain cancer. Patti graduated from Redford High School and attended the University of Detroit. She had a variety of jobs, the last being a bookkeeper at the Livonia Elks Club. Patti had a "heart of gold." She was always helping others, especially her widowed mother, sister, aunt, cousins, distant relatives, neighbors, the poor, animals and birds in her backyard – just about anyone. Patti liked to bring surprises and goodies to others to cheer people up and brighten their day. An independent woman, Patti was very optimistic despite having MS for decades. Valiantly, she tried radiation treatments and rehab therapy after her cancer diagnosis last September. She was a fighter and inspiration to others. She will surely be missed by all who knew her!
