Patricia (Pat) Mary Wildman

Pat passed away peacefully at the age of 97 years. Pat was blessed with a long and happy life. She immigrated to Canada from England with her husband David in 1952. David started his very successful family business Cariboo Motorcycles in 1966. Pat worked alongside doing the bookkeeping and helping customers as needed. Many who came in to Cariboo Motorcycles still remember Pat's lovely smile and friendly manner. Pat worked in the family business for over 50 years until the company closed in 2010. Pat was always a fixture at motorcycle events, whether at the motocross track or Westwood where she worked the gate, did sign up and also lap checked through the years, while her husband and two sons did the racing.

Pat was a caring and generous person, always considerate of others. Her grandsons remember her coming into work on Fridays with baked treats that she brought in for everyone, and Grandma's ham and cheese buns were always a favourite. Pat cared deeply about her family. She lived long enough to meet her eldest great-granddaughter Isla, and although she was not able to meet them, has two additional great-granddaughters born in 2024. We will keep many great memories of Pat over the years - from fish and chip Sundays and playing cricket on the back lawn, to Easter egg hunts and motorcycle rides in the valley.

Pat also enjoyed traveling with her husband Dave , they did many cruises together, highlighted by a family cruise in 2014. They also had many wonderful motorcycle trips.

Pat was predeceased by her husband David ( February 2025) , and her eldest son John ( June 2020). She is survived by her son Ashley, her daughter- in-law Helen , her grandsons Matt and David and three great-granddaughters, Isla, Charlotte and Chloe , as well as her twin sister Pam in England.

A life well lived ! We know she is at peace now, with her husband David and their son John. A cemetery service will be held this June, when she will be laid to rest with David and near to their son John. We continue to miss them all very much.- Always in our hearts. Till we meet again . 🙏❤️
