Patricia Ann (Burleigh Micka
Dec. 11, 1943 –– Aug. 31, 2017
Patricia Ann (Burleigh)
Micka passed away Thurs-
day, Aug. 31, 2017, at Wal-
lowa Memorial Hospital
in Enterprise. She was a car-
ing and loving individual who
will be missed dearly by her
family and friends.
Pat was born Dec. 11,
1943, in Klamath Falls,
Ore., to Robert and Marjorie
Burleigh. The family resided
on a 320-acre ranch between
Klamath Falls and Merrill,
Ore.
She grew up almost like
an only child as her older
brother, Bobby, was 12 years
older than she. Pat was an
active child as she partici-
pated in ballet, tap dancing,
acrobats and swimming. Her
favorite was ballet.
Pat graduated from Mer-
rill High School in 1962.
In school she was actively
involved in many clubs and
organizations: annual staff,
paper staff, music, state
speech, speech dub, pep club,
4-H, Theta Rho and the Elks
Panel. Her senior year she
was voted, “Most Likely to
Succeed.”
Her hobbies included
going swimming, dancing,
reading, listening to music
and spending time with
friends. She continued to
enjoy these hobbies through-
out her years. After high
school she attended Southern
Oregon State College in Ash-

land, Ore. She had planned on
pursuing a career as an ele-
mentary education teacher.
A year prior to attending
college, she met Jerry Eugene
Micka on a blind date. The
couple married June 24,
1963, at the First Presbyterian
Church in Weiser, Idaho.
They purchased their fi rst
farm together in Malin, Ore.,
which had been the original
farm of Joseph Micka (Jerry’s
grandfather). The family later
moved to Enterprise to raise
their children.
Pat worked at the Pioneer
Guest Home for 13 years as
the administrator and pro-
vided for her family.
She and Jerry later moved
to Kamiah, Idaho. There,
she owned and operated
The Country Patch Gift and
Health Food Store for more
than 15 years.
She enjoyed gardening,
sewing, crafts, cooking and
oil painting. Her true joy was
spending time with her fam-
ily, which she cherished as
she was a very loving wife
and mother.
Pat will be remembered by
her loved ones for her love of
animals (her Siamese cats),
laughter, hugs, beaming smile
and kindness toward others.
She never met a stranger or
let someone go without as she
was always giving and kind.
Pat is survived by her
husband, Jerry Micka; her
