Willie Christeen Conley's Obituary
Willie Christeen Conley was born in Ypsilanti, Michigan to Willie
Walker and Virlie McIntyre on March 23, 1954. Willie, better known as “Pat” was
the fourth of nine children.
Pat attended Catholic schools and later graduated from Ross Medical School. Pat
worked for Arrows for over twenty years. She later went on to work for a smaller
drapery company in Hamtramck.
Pat enjoyed cooking, sewing, and family gatherings and redecorating/home
improvements. She adored her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and
her nieces and nephews. Spending time with her family was one of her greatest
joys. She made each one feel like they were very special to her. And when holidays
came she took pride in cooking meals big enough to feed an army.
Pat touched the heart of everyone she met; rather it was making them curtains,
cooking meals, holding conversations, or altering their clothes. She was loved by
the entire neighborhood.
Pat departed this life on March 30, 2020 at Harper Hospital. She was preceded in
death by her husband; Dennis, daughter; Sabrina, two brothers; Larry and Chester,
one sister in law; Sheryl, five nephews; Ernest, Larry, Alton, Anthony and Jamel
and her great granddaughter; Desiree.
Pat leaves to cherish her precious memories, four children; Annette (Jihad), Ron
(Shela), Darnell (Janitta) and Sablina, nine grandchildren; Lettice (Derrick),
Mechella, Robert (Shantinique), Lateria (Doshan), Raven, Javon, Raina, Demetrius
and Treyvon, sixteen great grandchildren, five brothers; Ernest, Clarence, Jerry,
Richard (Slyvia) and Alton (Linda), one sister; Lugenia, one special son; Lawrence
and a host of nieces and nephews and extended family.
