Patricia Murphy-Reyner

Patricia Jane Murphy-Reyner, 60, of Lolo. Passed away of natural causes on Feb. 12, 2008, at St. Patrick's Hospital in Missoula.

She was born March 17, 1947, in St. Cloud, Minn. to Jim and Kitty Murphy.

The family moved to Whitefish in 1953, and Pat completed her freshman year at Whitefish High School. In 1962, the family relocated again to Las Vegas, and Pat graduated from Rancho High School.

She worked for many years for casinos in Las Vegas, including Bally's Hotel and Casino and the Sheraton Desert Inn Hotel.

Pat married David Reyner on March 17, 1995, and they relocated to Lolo. She worked several years as an accomplished seamstress, and then at the Lolo Super Stop, a job she truly enjoyed.

She was preceded in death by her husband and her parents.

She is survived by her brother Jim Murphy and wife Beverly, of Alexandria, Va.; her sister Katherine Bazar and husband Bill, of Whitefish; her brother Brian Murphy, of Las Vegas; a niece and a nephew.

Pat will be buried with her husband at the Veterans Cemetery in Missoula.

Pat was very proud of her Irish heritage — she was born and married on St. Patrick's Day. A birthday remembrance is planned for her at The King's Christian Church in Lolo on Saturday, March 15, 2008.
