Age 87    of Dearborn Heights, MI passed away on Sunday, October 8, 2017.

Pat was born on January 16, 1930 in Detroit, MI, daughter of Nickolaus A. and Catherine Barbara (Martin) Rebel. She moved to Allen Park, MI with her family at the age of nine and grew up working in the Rebel family creamery. Pat attended Fordson High School in Dearborn, MI, and was an active member of the "Fordson High Class of '48 Girls' Club." She worked for the J.L Hudson Company for 24 years, retiring from the cosmetics and perfume department at the Westland Mall store in 1992. Pat's favorite activities included wintering in Sanibel, FL each year with friends and family, and spending summers at the Rebel family cottage on Portage Lake in Pinckney, MI.

Patricia was the proud  matriarch of a family that included four sisters, two brothers, one cousin, four children, two grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and too many nieces and nephews to count. She was admired, respected and dearly loved by all of her family. She was preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, John Edward Brandon, a daughter, Jean Marie Brandon, and two sisters, Loretta Marie Matthews and Betty Jean Rebel. She is survived by three children, Christine McIntyre, Michael Brandon and Laura Ward (Eric); two sisters, Joan Rebel and Theresa Rebel; two brothers, John (Anne) Rebel and Tom (Barbara) Rebel; a cousin, Dan (Linda) Clark; two grandsons, Richard (Dena) McIntyre and Brandon Kluger; two great grandchildren, Olivia McIntyre and Nickolaus McIntyre; and a dear friend of many, many years, Noreen Blahovec.
