Burial will be at Maple Hill Cemetery in Cromwell. Memorials may be directed to Pats family.
Patricia Ann McKeever, daughter of Gerald and Arlene McKeever, was born June 7, 1936 at Short Hills, New Jersey. She was raised in a loving Christian home as an only child.
At a very young age, Pat had an obvious love and passion for animals of all kinds, especially horses.
Soon after graduation, Pat met and fell in love with John Lewis Bakley. They were married in 1956 and spent most of their married life in New Jersey.
Pat was the loving mother of seven children:
Daughter: Patricia Ann (Steve) Kralik
Daughter: Sharon Elizabeth Maxfield (Partner Ralph)
Son: Edward John (Maria) Bakley
Daughter: Beverly Teresa Judge (Partner Gina Walter)
Son: John August (Dory) Bakley
Daughter: Deanna Lyn (Bill) Wetterling
Daughter: Donna Kaye (Doran) Harris
In the most recent years of her life, Pat made her choice to serve the Lord. She found great peace and comfort; Bible studies, singing hymns, and fellowship gave her immense joy. God became a great source of her strength.
Pat entered into rest on December 17, 2009, after a recent battle with cancer at Greater Regional Medical Center, Creston, Iowa, surrounded by family.
Pat was preceded in death by her father, her mother, her husband, John in December 1998; Twin Granddaughters: Kristen and Michelle Glenn in 1988; and Grandson: William Richard Kralik in 2001. She is survived by her seven children, twenty-seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and many friends.
