After a courageous 20-month battle with cancer, Patricia Lou (Webley) Seibert passed away in her home in Dayton with family by her side.

Pat was born to Ralph and Elaine (Tilson) Webley in Mason City, Washington where her father helped to build the Grand Coulee Dam.  When her father was injured in a fall off the dam, Pat, her parents, and beloved brother, Gary, moved to the Coulee City area during Ralph's recovery.  They eventually established a home there raising cattle.

Pat was an eternal optimist, filled with the spirit of adventure, and bubbling with a can-do attitude which helped her through difficulties encountered during her life.  As a girl, life was not easy during the late depression and war years, but despite the hardships and the austere environment of the upper Columbia Basin, life was, in her words, "magical" and "wonderful".  Her favorite times were riding her horse, often with her brother, throughout the many canyons near Coulee City.  She especially loved sitting atop her horse, at the edge of the towering rimrock of the Grand Coulee drinking in the seemingly endless and incredible vista below.

Pat's love of horses and pride of being a "Woman of the West" led her to test her hand at trick riding and received a letter of encouragement from noted movie personality and famed trick rider Monty Montana.  She also barrel-raced and, as a high school sophomore, was crowned a "Princess" representing the city of Coulee City and its annual "Last Stand Rodeo" throughout the region.

Graduating from Coulee City High School in 1956, Pat attended Kinman Business University in Spokane.  She worked as a bank teller at Lincoln Mutual Savings bank.  Later, she worked as a medical assistant for Dr. John Kearns and for the U.S. Census Bureau tasked to gather demographic and behavioral information from Northwest residents.

When Pat set her mind to do something, she would not be deterred.  This trait was central in her final job working in the Grant County Treasurer's office.  When a tough case came to the office's attention, Pat would be the one tasked to crack it and collect.  As a result, she was known county-wide as "That Tax Lady" who you did NOT want to see driving up your lane – because she was never intimidated and always got what she came for.

An avid gardener, she loved tending to her numerous beds of flowers and vegetables.  She was especially in awe of the rich soil in Dayton which produced spectacular results for the eyes and dinner plate.  Pat also had a very creative side.  She enjoyed fashioning stained-glass items such as lampshades, crosses, Christmas ornaments, and commemorative what-nots -- nothing was out her ability to try to fashion.  Pat had a curious zeal for repurposing nearly everything she owned.  She would often proclaim "Why buy something new when a can of spray paint will give you something new out of something you already own?"  This frugal artistic enthusiasm led her second husband, Jim, to warn anyone within arm's reach of his wife, "When you're around Pat, you'd better keep moving, or she'll spray paint you or glue tile to you!"

She married her high school sweetheart, Jack Stierwalt, in 1957.  She and Jack purchased a home in Ephrata and adopted their son, John, in 1960.  A few years later they moved to the community of Grant Orchards just southeast of Soap Lake, WA, where Pat and Jack farmed irrigating alfalfa and occasionally raising cattle.  It was there the couple welcomed their daughter, Jill, to the family in 1964.

Jack passed away in 1977, and a year later, she was blessed to meet and marry a kind and gentle banker from Ephrata, Jim Gordon.  The blending of their families brought great happiness to Pat and her children as they were lovingly embraced by every member of the Gordon and Prior clans.

After Jim's passing in 2015, Pat participated in community activities in Soap Lake, she reveled in perfecting her stained-glass hobby, repurposing nearly everything in her home, and gardening her heart out.  In 2016 she met Jess Seibert and married him in 2017 in Moses Lake.  Again, Pat was embraced by her new family which gave her tremendous joy.  Most importantly, she was so thankful for her loving husband's leadership in helping her attain a deeper understanding of scripture and a personal relationship with her Lord and Savior.  The couple moved to Dayton in October 2017 where the couple established a home on Stedman Road, became members of the Columbia County Republican Party, and faithful members of the Dayton Community Bible Church.

Pat was preceded in death by her parents, brother and husbands Jack Stierwalt and Jim Gordon.  She is survived by her husband, Jessie and children John (Debbie) Stierwalt (Spokane, WA), Jill (Russell) Hensley (King City, OR), stepdaughters Chalky (Greg) Monson (Bennettsville, SC), Shelley Bond (Bothell, WA), Winter Seibert (Hank Heschle, Orofino, ID), Julie (Paul) Read (Spokane, WA), Hollie (Lee) Lackey (Bennettsville, SC), and stepson Jim Gordon (Moses Lake, WA).  As well as 16 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

A closed-casket memorial will take place at Dayton's Community Bible Church on February 22, 2025 at 2:00 pm, followed by a reception in the church's assembly hall.
