It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Patricia Louise Bristol-Clarke on January 10, 2025, at the age of 72. Pat was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend whose adventurous spirit and generosity touched everyone who knew her. Known for her unwavering faith, Pat faced her courageous battle with cancer with strength, grace, and dignity.

Pat was born on December 6, 1952, in St. Lucia to the late Reginald Clarke and Jeanne Clarke, whose love and guidance profoundly influenced the remarkable woman she became.

She is survived by her devoted son, Duane Crichton, his wife Lisa Choi, and her treasured grandchildren, Nigel and Sidney Crichton. Pat will be deeply missed by her loving siblings, Leslie Clarke, Terrence Clarke, and Karen Crichton, as well as her extended family and dear friends. She was predeceased by her beloved brothers, Bobby Clarke and Chris Clarke, who always held a special place in her heart.

A true adventurer, Pat embraced life fully, living abroad in England and traveling the globe for both business and pleasure. Whether it was running marathons, exploring Costa Rica, climbing Machu Picchu or her meaningful volunteer work at an orphanage in Bolivia, Pat’s wanderlust and compassion inspired all who knew her.

Her generosity knew no bounds. Always willing to lend a helping hand, she supported friends in need without hesitation. Pat’s faith was central to her life, and she served her church through the garden ministry. A passionate supporter of the arts, she loved museums, pursued landscape architecture, photography, and film, even helping with Duane’s first short film production.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:00 am at St Gabriel’s Parish, 670 Sheppard Ave E, North York, ON M2K 1B7.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Princess Margaret Hospital or a cancer research organization of your choice in Patricia’s memory.

Patricia Bristol-Clarke’s legacy of love, kindness, and adventure will forever be cherished. She lived a life full of purpose, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

May she rest in peace and eternal light.
