Obituary: Gayle Pattison

Gayle Pattison of Gold Canyon, Arizona, passed in the early morning hours of Feb. 7, 2022.

Gayle was the daughter of Noel and Martha Girard of St. Paul. She married Henry Pattison, and they settled in Cloquet, where they owned Pattison Veterinary Hospital for many years as well as a location in Moose Lake. She and Dr. Pattison raised their family in Cloquet before moving to Sturgeon Lake to enjoy the evening sunsets across the lake. Gayle and Henry would spend several years in retirement between Sturgeon Lake and their winter residence in Arizona.

She is survived by her daughter, Teri Pattison, and her son Isa; son Tom, and Missy Pattison, and their daughter Keeley and son Michael; son David, and Carolyn Pattison and their daughter Greer and son Kellan; and son Mark, and Laura Pattison and their daughter Jemma and son Jack.

Gayle requested no services be held and, in lieu of flowers, that you please donate to your favorite animal charity.

Gayle will be buried alongside her husband, Henry, at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis.
