Today would have been my Mom’s 100th birthday
I’ve written several
posts about my Mom and Dad. Her mother,
Florence Bowden Milne was the genealogist in the family before me. She, my grandma, left me many wonderful
pieces of family information and photographs.
Here is a
very brief bio of my Mom:
Patricia Anne Milne,
born 3 Oct 1924, in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan. Her parents were Joseph Albert
Milne and Florence Lenora Bowden. Pat
was the fourth and last child born to her parents. Her siblings were Dorothy Irene Milne
(1907-1920), Robert Andrew Milne (1909-1969) and Joan Esther Milne
(1915-1985). All born in Detroit.
Being much younger than
her siblings and having never met her sister, Dorothy, who died before my Mom
was born, Pat grew up spending quite a bit of time to herself. She inherited a love of books from her mother
and spent a lot of time reading. I’m
thankful that gene was passed down to me as well. She and I would pass books back & forth after reading them. We both love mysteries and history.
Pat always loved
animals and passed that love to us as well.
My Mom was married
twice. First to Harry Norman Gould 9 Apr
1949 and second to Joseph Edward Cornelius 12 Feb 1971.
She had 3 children –
her oldest, John Whitney Zimmerman, then me, then my brother Harry Norman Gould,
II.
BIRTHDAY MOM!
