atricia Lee Gable, 69, passed away Friday, May 12 surrounded by loved ones. Pat fought a heartfelt battle in her last couple years with pancreatic cancer. She will be welcomed into heaven by those who preceded her in death; her father Joseph P. Forman, her mother Joan Davis, step-father S. Davis, and daughter Shauna Gable.
Patricia was born in Mahopac, NY to Joan and Joseph Forman on June 16, 1947. She went to school and grew up in Carmel, NY. At a young age Pat developed a love of travel-especially to places having warm water beaches. She started searching on the east coast and made her way to the west coast ending up in San Clemente, CA. This is where she met the future father of her children, Ron Gable. Shortly after being married they moved to Brookings, OR were she started her family. In the late 80s she started a new career (Physical Therapy Assistant) and during this time she and Ron separated. As a Physical Therapy Assistant she received great satisfaction in helping others. She worked primary in Oregon and a couple years in Hawaii in the medical field. After her children became adults she started a new career as a Flight Attendant. During this time she lived in Arizona and was able to travel the world and meet new friends. The end of her travels brought her back to Oregon where she could be close to her children and grandchildren with whom she loved to spend her time.
The void will be felt by those she has left behind; her son James Gable, daughter Tanya/Dave Scott and cherished grandchildren Gwynn and Nolan, her brother Richard/Chrissy Forman, sisters Pam Carroll and Doria/Mark Topazio as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Her love and presence will be missed by the lives she has touched through her travels.
