Patrice Franklin of Fort Collins, Colorado, passed away on May 17, 2024, at the age of 70. She was born on February 3, 1954, to Jack Franklin and Florence Manhan.

Patrice married her beloved spouse, Kim Clark, in 2013, and they shared many happy years together with their four-legged kids. Although they did not have children of their own, Patrice had a special talent for taking care of others, whether it be her friends, family, or her beloved chickens.

After serving in the United States Air Force as a Staff Sargent, Patrice retired in 1989 and dedicated herself to her hobbies, which included cooking delicious meals and tending to her cherished pets.

Patrice will be remembered for her kind heart, her love of animals, and her passion for helping others. She faced her battle with Esophageal Cancer with courage and grace.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Animal Friends Alliance of Fort Collins, Colorado, in Patrice's memory.

A memorial celebration will be in September, date TBD.

She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
