With love in their hearts, hand in hand and their families by their side, Graham and
Diane Patchell (McCullough) peacefully passed away on August 4, 2022 in
Midland, ON.
The loving parents of John Patchell (Christine), Jill Bremner (Hugh) and Jim Patchell (Karen). Adored grandparents (affectionately known as Momma and Pop)
to Genny Patchell (Graham), Shawna Patchell, Mark Bremner (Maria), Vanessa Dorion (Joel), Jeff Patchell (Laura) and Lauren Patchell. As well as their
great-grandchildren Hudson, Zoe, Gabe, Oliver and Sophie.
They are predeceased by their parents and siblings, Ron Patchell and Tom McCullough. Sorely missed by Diane’s sister, Betty Ann Bell and sister-in-law Jeanne McCullough.
Lovingly missed by their many nieces, nephews, extended families and many many friends.
Their impact was far reaching and ever so deep. Their zest for life was infectious, often times the life of the party. Their love story began in Midland but moved
to Gravenhurst where they started their family. They later returned to Midland where they ran French’s Dry Cleaners and officially put down roots. The
purchase of their Georgian Bay cottage was a welcomed stop for family and friends (usually into the wee hours of the night). Graham was a hunter who
belonged to the Hunters and Anglers Club while Diane enjoyed her cards with ‘the girls’ and they shared their love of fishing, golf, travel and volunteering. They could be found for many years volunteering at the coffee bar at the Georgian Bay General Hospital. They were true pillars of the community and once in a lifetime people. They were just shy of their 74th wedding anniversary and their love story is one to be remembered.
They will forever be missed and thought of oh so often.
