Jessie “Pat” Patricia Foss Annau, 86, of Great Falls, passed away on April 13, 2024.

Pat was born to Grace and Steve Foss on March 11, 1938, in Ladysmith, WI. She is survived by her sister, Mary Chambers of Portland, OR; son, Danny and daughter-in-law Ronnie Monroe of Homosassa, FL; daughters, Pamela Urness of Portland, OR, Cindi Monroe of Great Falls, MT, Penny Monroe of Grand Junction, CO; and son, Lance Wright of Minnesota. Pat is survived by 12 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandbaby.

She lived a rich life full of outdoor adventures. She was a talented seamstress and expressed her love through creating quilts, clothes, and crafts for her children and numerous grandchildren. She was an excellent cook and would make a favorite requested pie flavor for whomever requested one. Due to childhood health issues, she was unable to attend school for part of each year. After her children were grown, she attended Montana State University and received her Bachelor of Arts in English and was an excellent student and writer.

Our Mother and Grandma will be deeply missed in our hearts, but we are also at peace knowing she will be joining family members who preceded her in death.

There will be a service for Pat at O’Connor Memorial Chapel on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at 2 pm.

The family would like to thank the staff at Beehive Linden House for their care of Mom. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you consider donating to Peace Hospice of Montana for their tender care of our Mother and Grandma.
