Patricia Mae Stoltenow Obituary (2023)

Patricia Mae (Amos) Stoltenow passed away on August 26, 2023, surrounded by family. Patricia was born in 1934, on her fathers birthday. She said he always told her that she was the best birthday present he ever had. They were able to celebrate for over 60 years together, sharing strawberry shortcake. She grew up in the little town of Cowiche, surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles, and many cousins. She often talked about what a wonderful time she had with her brother and sister. Her school years were spent at Cowiche Grade School, and then Highland High School, where she was involved in many activities. After her graduation in 1952, she attended beauty school. Pat worked as a beautician for many years and had her own beauty shop, "Pats Parlor," between Newlands drug store and Willys Hardware. She married her high school sweetheart, Dale Stoltenow, and together they provided a home full of laughter and filled with love for 63 years. They lived and farmed in Tieton, in partnership with Dales father and brother, Bill. In 1968, they bought a cherry orchard and moved to Selah. Pat and Dale traveled to many places, but she was always happy to get home to her family and friends. She was also active in the Tieton Presbyterian Church, serving as elder and deacon for many years. Her family was most important to her, loving them all unconditionally. They all returned that love to her. Pat is preceded in death by her parents, Linville and Nell Amos, brother, Lawrence Amos, sister, Carolyn Amos, and husband, Dale Stoltenow. She is survived by her daughter, Shelly Myers, son, Stacy Stoltenow (Kirsten), grandchildren, Beth Myers, Justin Myers, Gunnar Stoltenow, Duncan Stoltenow, and great-grandchildren, McKenna Myers, and Avrie Worley.
