Patricia Ann Stackhouse

Patricia Ann Stackhouse, 83, of Bozeman, MT, passed away peacefully on May 1, 2025, surrounded by her adoring family.

Pat was born on August 27, 1941, in Wabash County, Indiana, to Paul and Gladys Shanahan. She was raised in Urbana, and graduated from Central High School in North Manchester, IN, with the class of 1959. The following year she married Larry Stackhouse on August 7th in Servia, Indiana. They raised a family and spent the next 64 and ½ years together.

Pat worked as a Paraprofessional/Teacher’s Aide for Special Education in the Bozeman school district for 23 years. She was also an avid and talented quilter, belonging to several quilt guilds.

Pat lived life to the fullest & was always up for anything. She never knew a stranger and was always the life of the party. When she wasn't quilting, Pat loved to travel & enjoyed spending time at the beach.
