1945-2024
March 11, 2024, at 9:33 pm, Patricia “Patty” Janet McDougle, surrounded by loved ones, went to be with the Lord, at the age of 78 years, five months and 28 days.
Patty was born September 13, 1945, in Avenal, California.
She was adopted by Bill and Lola (Carmichael) Kehoe, and moved to Lost Hills, California, where she graduated from Wasco Union High School.
In the late 1960s, after being away for a few years, Patty moved back to Lost Hills, California, and fell in love with the local cool-guy — a motorcycle-riding Billy Joe McDougle. Billy and Patty were married in 1969 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and made their home in Bakersfield, California.
In 1976 they adopted William J. McDougle, and moved to Keno, Oregon, where she gave birth to Sean P.
McDougle in May of 1980. Bill and Patty raised the boys in Oregon and stayed until 2022 when they moved to Weatherford to be closer to family.
Sundays, you would find Patty in a church pew singing her heart out, and afterwards, having conversations with everyone there.
This energy symbolizes everything she was.
Caring, full speed, loud and a social butterfly.
Patty was dedicated to the Lord, displayed a red-headed fiery unapologetic will, and a calling to help others. She loved her grandchildren and cherished her time with them. She had a special place in her heart for all kids which led her to work for the Klamath County School district as a teacher’s aide until 2006.
She loved her friends, rooting for the Oregon State Beavers, playing bunco, traveling, and most of all — her family.
Survivors include: her husband of 54 years, Billy McDougle, of their home in Weatherford; two sons, William McDougle and wife, Kimberly, of Leland, North Carolina, and Sean McDougle and wife, Amber, of Oklahoma City; nine grandchildren, Bryant, Dylan, Jillian, Brooklyn, Ryan, Taylor, Olivia, Addison and Liam; one brother, Bill Kehoe and wife, Alice, of Stockton, California; and two sisters, Darlene Kirkland and husband, Ted, of Bakersfield, California, and Sharon Brown and husband, Alan, of Bakersfield, California. She was preceded in death by: her parents, Bill and Lola Kehoe; and her parents-in-law, Joseph and Vivian McDougle.
