About Patricia "Pat" Ann Drost, 79, of Charlevoix, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 1, 2021. She was born on March 30, 1942, the daughter of Geneva "Jenny" "GG" & James "Smitty" Smith and was raised in the Detroit area. She moved to Charlevoix her senior year of high school, graduated Charlevoix class of 1960, raised 3 children and spent the majority of her career as a secretary for Charlevoix Public Schools. She was known for her sparkling personality, upbeat and spunky attitude, and love of all things Elvis. She adored her 3 kids, 7 grandkids, and 13 great-grandkids, but most importantly, she loved Jesus and she lived her life as a testimony to her faith. No matter how she fit into your life, she will be missed by her family, friends, and the Charlevoix community. A Celebration of Life Open House is planned for September 25, 2021 from 11a - 2p at Castle Farms in Charlevoix in the East Garden Room (be sure to get yourself a pair of Crocs (her favorite shoes) to wear to the event). In lieu of flowers or cards, she would want you to give Jesus a chance; to let her, "Grandma Pat," and her legacy be a part of your testimony of faith -- nothing would bring her more joy. If you wish to honor her additionally, you may donate to your home church, the Charlevoix Venetian Festival, or the CF Foundation. Arrangements are in the care of the Winchester Chapel of Mortensen Funeral Homes. Sign her online guestbookwww.mortensenfuneralhomes.com
