On 29 March 2022, Pat Dumcum, 78, of Osborne, Kansas set out on her last adventure. She passed peacefully at the Hays Medical Center, Hays, Kansas. Pat was born on October 31, 1943 in Little field Texas to Charlie and June (Sellers) Johnson.
Pat was a spunky ball of fire and had a great passion for her family, creativity of all things DYI, cooking and not afraid to try new things. She also enjoyed junkin and loved the challenge of a good negotiation and getting everything to fit in her car and/or trailer.
Pat was never afraid to roll up her sleeves to get the job done. She worked in the food service arena and eventually obtained her Dietician certificate for healthcare. She used her love of cooking and baking to create many wonderful edible delights from appetizers to beautiful hand carved fruit pieces to 5 and 6 course meals.
Throughout her life, she was always willing to step out of the norm for adventure. She spent many hours traveling across the Midwest on her motorcycle. She took many of her family members on trips to her favorite state, Colorado, where they would enjoy river-rafting, zip-lining and being catapulted out over the vista. She always managed to bring a bit of Colorado home with her each time.
Pat is survived by her sister, Jodi Brummer of Osborne KS and her daughters, Judy Lacey of Chanute KS, Patti Vancil of Temple Tx, Kim Hampton of Ulysses KS, Mariah Seeley of McPherson KS, Jodi Boland of Alton KS and Sheila Conway of Osborne KS. She leaves behind 15 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her husband Jerry Dumcum, her parents, 2 brothers, 1 sister and a beloved brother-in-law.
