    Her obit says that she was preceded in death by her brothers Clayton and George and survived by Alton, Carolyn, and Jacque.

    Her obit says that age of 19 she started her career at Pacific Bell and retired 30 years later.

    The sister Jacque referred to in Patricia’s obit is Jacqueline Lee Andrews Tuck, who was born 27 Jul 1943 in Sacramento and who died 12 Nov 2020 in North Chesterfield, Virginia, as the widow of Dan A. Tuck, Jr. Jacqueline’s obit, and the California Birth Index confirms Jacqueline’s parents as Orville “Andy”Andrews and Lillian Voss Andrews. Jacqueline’s obit does list Patt Frerichs as “sister” but does not mention any of Patt’s other siblings, either as preceding Jacqueline in death or as surviving her.

    Patricia married Harry John FRERICHS on 25 May 1951. Harry was born on 7 Jun 1929 in California; died on 14 Dec 2008 in California. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
