Patricia L. (Vincent) Davis, 67, of Kenosha, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 13, 2010, at St. Catherine’s Medical Center after a twenty-eight year battle with breast cancer. Patricia was born on June 29, 1943, in Wilmington, Delaware to Iris J. and the late John D. Vincent. With her father being a commercial pilot, she traveled with her family and lived in a variety of places including Heemstede, Holland, Long Island, New York, Redwood City, California and Genoa City, Wisconsin. She received her teaching certificate from the Kenosha County Teacher’s College in 1968. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Carthage College in Kenosha, and a Master of Education and Professional Development from UW-Whitewater in 1981. Pat was a dedicated educator and taught at the elementary level for thirty four years at Salem Grade School in Salem, Wisconsin, from where she retired in 2001. Pat spent her years playing racquetball, soaking up the sun along various coastlines and beaches, traveling the world, and spending quality time with her friends and family. She lived life passionately and enjoyed laughing and joking. Pat could be found boarding an airplane wearing a banana nose, or assigning rows in the strawberry fields with a crazy parrot hat on her head. She enjoyed having fun and making people smile. If Pat was serious about anything it was living a full and complete life. Her strength and courage throughout the years of her illness were inspirational to others around her who were fighting the same or similar battles. Pat consistently rose above her medical challenges to live life on her terms and without reservation. Her high-spirited disposition and positive outlook were the hallmarks of her personality as she embraced all of the good things in life. Pat is survived by her mother, Iris J. Vincent of Kenosha; daughter, Kelly (Davis) Heigl (Chris Lueloff) of Milwaukee; twin granddaughters, Savannah Mae and Taylor Patricia Heigl; sister, Kathryn Vincent (Scott) Nelson of Kenosha; brothers, Randolph (Nancy) Vincent of Arkansas and George (Shelley) Vincent of New Hampshire; and her significant other, Terry Principe of Kenosha. Pat’s family wishes to express their deep appreciation for the compassionate care she received at St. Catherine’s during her final days. They also wish to thank all of the wonderful doctors and nurses that followed Pat throughout the course of her illness.
