It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Patricia Ellen Arber. Patricia (Pat) passed away peacefully in her home on Wednesday, May 15th.

Pat was a devoted wife to the late Ross Arber, loving and supportive mother to John (Donna), David (Nicole) and Jana Bartley (Fred). Very proud Nana to Lauren, Michael (Lesley), Matthew, Rachel and Ashley.

Pat dearly loved her family and vast network of friends from her Sorority sisters, her 'cottage' family from years spent at Harcourt Park, her beloved church and choir group and friendships made during her and Ross's extensive travel.

She will be greatly missed by her children, grandchildren, in-laws, nieces, nephews and all those who's lives were touched and enriched by her generous heart and caring spirit.

A service and reception celebrating the life of Pat will be held on Tuesday June 25th from 12:00pm - 3:00pm at Newcastle United Church - 84 Mill Street South, Newcastle.
