Patricia Bloomfield was born on April 14, 1938 in Ecorse, Michigan. She was one of five children born from the union of the late Ercle and Esther (Mayrand) Bloomfield. She was a 1956 graduate of St. Mary’s Academy Catholic High School in Monroe.

Together they raised their four children: Lori, Lynn, Larry, and Lee in their loving home that they built in Carleton.
Pat, always the innovator gave birth to the first Lamaze baby born at Monroe Mercy Hospital, and she was part of the first graduating nursing class at Monroe County Community College. Pat and Clarence created the Carleton Go Getters 4-H club and started the first local camping club chapter for the NCHA called the Michigan Roving Wolverines. Being outdoors was a passion of Pat’s. She enjoyed gardening and bird watching. She loved camping and took pride in teaching rustic living skills to her children. Bicycling with her family was also something Pat liked to do. In addition to spending time with her family and friends, Pat enjoyed volunteering. She donated her time to the Monroe Lutheran Home and was a member of the St. Patrick’s Women’s Guild.
Pat’s family remembers her love of cooking and is going to miss her pizza made from scratch that she would make on Sunday nights. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren meant everything to her.
