Patricia Ruth Bales

of Mountain Home, AR

August 11, 1928 - December 17, 2014

Patricia Ruth Bales, age 86, of Mountain Home, Arkansas was called home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, in Mountain Home. She was born August 11, 1928, in Chicago, Illinois to Nicholas and Mildred (Smith) Thillen.
Pat married Robert Lee Bales, who was a Lieutenant on the Illinois State Police, December 7, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois. She was a court recorder in the state judicial system in Oregan, Illinois before retiring in Mountain Home. She was a devout Christian and loved her church, St. Andrew's Episcopal Church of Mountain Home. She was the head of the Alter Guild and a Daughter of the King.
Pat is survived by her sister-in-law: Diane Patricia Edwards who she would boast was more like a daughter than a sister-in-law. She loved to tell how she and Bob married at the age of 19, when Diane was only 1 year old. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and a brother-in-law.
A memorial service will be 10:00 a.m. Friday, January 9, 2015, at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church with Reverend Jim McDonald officiating. Interment will be in Baxter Memorial Gardens.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to St. Andrew's Episcopal Church.
Arrangements are by Roller Funeral Home.

Diane, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You will be in my prayers. I know you loved Pat and she was very special to you. You were very faithful in taking care of her as a daughter would care for a parent. Rest assured she is with our Father in heaven.
My condolences to you and your family at this time of loss.

Dear Pat,
Dick and I were so sad and surprised to get this news. We are happy you are without pain now and at Peace with our Lord.
You were such a dear friend to my parents and I am grateful for your friendship with them both. Then we became friends the past few years. I enjoyed our visits, our meals together and our late phone conversations.
You are the "dear heart" as you called us:)
