Norman, Oklahoma - Patricia Ann Haiges Stich, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed into the arms of her Heavenly Father in the early morning hours of February 27th, 2025.

Patricia was born August 21st, 1937 in Bartlesville. She was the oldest of three children born to Mildred Christine and Robert W. Haiges, Jr. Patricia was raised with a loyal and loving commitment to her family and family heritage, a remarkable love for animals, and impressive knowledge of different types of flowers and plants.

After graduating High School in 1955, she moved to Stillwater to attend Oklahoma State University. While at OSU, she was asked to attend a "blind date" arranged by a close friend and met the man she would marry on January 1st, 1957 (Roger Stich).

Patricia was a compassionate, tenacious, and strong woman who fought and won a battle with late stage cancer and later suffered a stroke that greatly encumbered her speech for the last 20+ years of her life.

Patricia was preceded in death by her long time companion, David Lannan. She is survived by her children, Bill (Lora) Stich, Stephen Stich and Christine (Len) Cooper; her brother Robert (Mary) Haiges, her sister, Carol Segnar; her grandchildren Jacob (Hailey) Vandruff, Luke Stich, Michael Stich and Sydney Stich; her nephews Rob Haiges and Michael Haiges; beloved family friends Bud (Janetta) Brady and Lorri Krissman; and her loyal and protective Morkie companion, Chloe.

A celebration of Patricia's life will be held on Saturday March 8th, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at Wildwood Community Church in Norman. Burial will take place in Bartlesville at 1:00 p.m. on Monday March 10th, 2025. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Second Chance Animal Rescue in Norman or the Bella SPCA in Oklahoma City are appreciated.

The family would like to thank Ms. Deana Stickler and Ms. Glendle Spears for the companionship and exceptional care they provided for our mother.
