Longtime Forks resident and Forks Long Term Care resident Pat Pedersen died on May 7, 2021. She was born to Beaver area residents Ralph and Ada Pedersen on Oct. 21, 1933, and attended schools in Beaver and Forks.

She had put her trust in Christ; 2 Corinthians 5:8 “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”

She is now free to walk and even run again after 46 years.

She is preceded in death by her parents, daughter Patty, and siblings William Pedersen, Richard Pedersen, Ronald Pedersen, and Helen Carmichael. She is survived by her children Terri (Bob) Moore Crisman, Lynda (Dave) Breithaupt, and Don (Suzanne) Meng, and siblings Betty Bernier, June Olson, Terry Pedersen, and Robert (Karen) Pedersen.

Services will be held later in July.
