Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend Patricia Vincent Eatough (83) passed away peacefully at home on December 17, 2020, in Grantsville, Utah. She was surrounded by loving family.
She was born on October 2, 1937, in Salt Lake City, Utah to Granville Gillett Vincent and Helen Sara Mortensen. She graduated from East High School and then attended the University of Utah for a few years before marrying her sweetheart Mark E. Eatough Jr. They were married on August 23, 1957, and were lucky enough to spend 63 years together. They lived in Seattle Washington and Germany before returning to Salt Lake City and then settling down in Grantsville, Utah where they have lived for 50 years.
Patricia is known for her sweet disposition. You could always count on a bright smile and a twinkle in her eye—she also loved to give winks. Family was the very most important thing to her and she always put them first. Never missing any event she could possibly attend for her children and grandchildren. One of the most precious things in her life was her membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is something she passed on to her children. She had many church callings including primary, scouts, Stake Young Women’s President, ward Relief Society President and Stake Relief Society Presidency. After she retired she and her husband were able to serve in the Salt Lake City Temple for 11 and a half years and they loved every minute of it. She had a very strong testimony of her Savior Jesus Christ which, she shared through her example.
She served on many local committees and loved being involved in the community. She also served as a docent in both Grantsville’s Donner museum and the Salt Lake City Daughters of the Utah Pioneer Museum. She managed the Grantsville Federal Credit Union for 27 years and loved working with the people of Grantsville.
She was an amazing seamstress, quilter, and pianist. She loved flowers, gardening, and spending time in Yellowstone, Montana.
Patricia is survived by her husband of 63 years, Mark E. Eatough Jr.; son, Steven (Donna), son, Douglas (Angela); and daughter, Suzanne Kitchen (Matt): 11 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her son, Michael J.; Parents, and brother, G. Michael Vincent.

Pat was a very special person! Besides being involved with the quilting guild she was also involved with the Family History Library in Grantsville. She will be greatly missed by all of us. Her husband was very special and was devoted to her.
My heart goes out to you all. Her sunny disposition will be missed.
Dear Mark and family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of Pat. I truly enjoyed working with Pat at the Credit Union. She was a
special lady, and I thought of her as a friend and I admired her. I know that she went through a lot of pain
and suffering. I remember the time when she couldn't eat anything but chocolate Hershey Bars because
