Pat Cruse, 93, of Bryan, passed away Thursday February 7, 2019. Her life will be honored with a private graveside service for family and close friends. Services are in the care of Callaway-Jones Funeral and Cremation Centers of Bryan College Station.
Pat volunteered for St. Joseph Hospital for over 15 years. When she wasn’t volunteering her time, she loved playing golf and playing bridge with her friends.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Ray Cruse.
Survivors include her daughter, Caren Cruse; son and daughter-in-law, Bob and Barbara Cruse; sister, Tawney Stanton; grandchildren, Jennifer Wisinki and husband Thom, Laura Gleaves and husband Chris, Ryan Cruse, Tara Cruse; great grandchildren, Maddie and Michael Wisinski, Mason, Tyler, and Travis Gleaves.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donations in Pat’s memory to the St. Andrews Episcopal Church Endowment Fund to 217 W 26thSt. Bryan, TX 77803.
The ties between the Cruse and Aalen families go back over sixty years when Dr. Ray and Milton started offering quality health care at Hearne General Hospital. Many relationships grew: Pat and Bernie joined the picture as well as the adventures of Bobby and Jimmy with Model T and Model A Fords. After Ray and Bernie left the scene Milton would frequently visit with Pat and they enjoyed a special friendship. Such a gracious generation of family and friends with which we have been forever blessed. May they Rest In Peace.
To the family of Mrs. Pat Cruse,
My name is Alondra and I worked in the kitchen of Crestview retirement community.
I often worked in the skilled nursing section and had many conversations with Mrs. Cruse.
She will be remembered fondly by myself and the rest of the staff at Crestview.
God Bless you all.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
The family of Pat Cruse
