Patricia “Pat” Mae Aldous
November 3, 1927 - September 10, 2018
P
at was born in 1927 to
Claud and Alma Howard
in Eugene, OR. She was
raised in Eugene and then the
family moved to a ranch in Mabel,
OR. where she attended Mohawk
Union High School. It was there
she met Ed Aldous and they were
married November 23, 1945. Pat
and Ed moved to Drain in 1957
and made it their home.
Pat worked by cleaning homes
and businesses in the early morn-
ing hours while being a home-
maker. She later became assistant
librarian for the City of Drain
and then head librarian. She re-
mained head librarian for the
Drain Branch of the Douglas
County Library system until her
retirement.
She was very involved in the
Drain community. Pat served
many terms on several commit-
tees but her favorite was Friends
of the Library. Reading was her
passion! Other interests were play-
ing bingo, jigsaw puzzles, baking,
canning, and watching Jeopardy
& Wheel of Fortune.
We could go on and on about
what a good, strong infl uence Pat
was to all her family. But in her
own words, “ I want a nice obitu-
ary - nothing mushy.”
During Pat’s life she lost her hus-
band, her son John, and daughter
Charlotte. She is survived by her
Sister Ruth, daughters Carol and
Kathy, 10 grandchildren, 12 great
grandchildren, one great-great
grandchild, 6 nieces, 11 nephews,
and brother-in-law Tom Aldous.
Plus countless others that consid-
ered her Mom, Grandma, and
friend.
At Pat’s request, no service is
planned. She will be buried at East
Drain Cemetery. In her memory
donations can be made to Friends
of the Mildred Whipple Library
(PO Box 128, Drain, Or 97435),
The Salvation Army, or Oregon
Health Sciences University.
