Longtime Alaskan, Patricia (Patsy) Kaas, passed away quietly Friday, December 10, 2021, surrounded
by family, at the age of 90.
Born in Iowa, October 20, 1931, to Howard and Ruth Myers, she was the third of five girls and one
brother. The family moved from Iowa to South Dakota and then to Washington State where she met
her future husband, Norman Kaas. They married in Kennewick, Washington, on August 29, 1952.
In 1968, Patsy, Norman and their children moved to Alaska where they have resided since.
Patsy's love for her family was true, deep and absolute. Her quick wit, easy humor and rare fine gift
for putting others at ease will be missed beyond measure.
Patsy is survived by her husband Norman, daughter Lori (Rocky) Smith, son Terry (Sally) Kaas, son
Rodney (Heather) Kaas, daughter Marnie (Eric) Jensen, sisters, Beverly Kaas, Bernice Caler and brother
Bud Myers, 10 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
The family is deeply appreciative of the tender care she received at the Riverside Assisted Living
facility and additionally the medical team who cared for her and provided gracious support and
guidance to her loved ones through the final stage of her life.
In honor of Patsy's wishes, no service will be held.
