FOGG, Joyce Patricia

Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Monday, June 1, 2015 <<< Joyce Patricia (Pat) Fogg went to be with the Lord on May 23, 2015 in Gilbert, after a seven-year battle with cancer. Pat was born in Oroville, Calif., Feb 14, 1945 and was a true Valentine’s Day baby. She spent her childhood on a holly and strawberry farm south of Hillsboro, Ore. In 1974, she married George Fogg. She followed George to Germany where she toured much of Europe. Pat returned to the U.S. and lived in Lawton, Okla. The couple lived in Oklahoma for 24 years. During that time Pat financed herself through college and became a registered nurse. Pat’s loving nature made her a great nurse and her coworkers praised her abilities. On two occasions, Pat was personally responsible for saving a patient’s life and she was ecstatic. Pat retired in 2002 and the couple moved to Lake Havasu City in 2004 where Pat immersed herself in volunteer work. Pat volunteered for work at her church and many charitable organizations in Lake Havasu. The couple lived in Phoenix for the last six months while Pat received stem cell replacement treatments. The many years of treatment proved too much for Pat to endure and she died of organ failures. Pat is survived by her husband of the home, stepdaughter and grandson of Moore, Okla., and her two sisters, Lois Mulder, Merlin, Ore. and Sandi King, North Plains Ore. Her parents Lloyd and Bea Austin precede her in death. Gifts and donations should be sent to the American Cancer Center. A memorial service will be held at Hilltop Community Church at 11 a.m., June 6. She will be interred in Hillsboro, Ore.
