Pat is also survived by her aunt Gay Patrick (94), her best friend Leslie, many cousins, neighbors, and friends.
Born in San Francisco to Bill & Eva Zediker in 1946 after WW2, she moved to the house on Gibbs Way when she was 7 and resided there most of her life. As an only child, her early years were spent with her cousins who became her best friends. She attended El Camino High School and was in the first graduating class. She married her high school sweetheart George Lyman and had her three children. Later in life Pat remarried to Alex Estelita and quickly acclimated to her role as stepmother to his 4 boys.
Pat was happiest in making others happy through her phone calls, cooking, baking, and shopping. She loved to delight others with her surprises and would bake all day to Elvis & the Oldies. She loved to shop and would hunt endlessly to find a unique item or a bargain and often connected with people at estate sales. It would be the slightest conversation and next thing you knew you she was dropping off baked goods or the treasure hunt item you didn’t even know you mentioned.
Pat was the last original resident of Gibbs Way and had a knack for connecting friends and neighbors from generations of her life on the block.
