Pat Maxine Conley

She is survived by her husband, Terry M. Conley, and her siblings Mary Ann Peters (Jim), Jacki Brus, Laurie Brus, Robert Brus (Diane), and Therese Blackaby (Doug). She was predeceased by her parents, Theodore (Bob) and Mary (Maxine) Brus, and her sister, Kathy Brus. She shared a special bond with her Colorado neighbor, cousin, and dear friend, Marla Knapp (Roger). She will also be remembered by her nieces, nephews, and many cousins.

After earning her degree in computer sciences, Pat built a career that took her between Colorado and Michigan. Yet Colorado was always the place her heart called home. An avid outdoorswoman, Pat embraced nature and all it’s beauty with enthusiasm and joy. She was a passionate biker, hiker, and camper. She found peace and purpose in tending her gardens. Her love of travel carried her across the United States and around the world, including memorable journeys to Ireland, China, Peru, and Canada.

Pat also found great joy in art and painting, and she was a commendable artist. Her artistic vision extended to photography as well, where her keen eye and creativity were widely admired.

Pat was devoted to protecting the landscapes she loved. She volunteered her time and energy to her community and especially to trail work, including contributions to the Paul Intemann Memorial Nature Trail in Colorado, ensuring that others could experience the

beauty she held so dear.

Her life was one of curiosity, movement, and connection—rooted in nature, enriched by adventure, and sustained by family.

In accordance with her wishes, no service is planned currently. Her ashes will be lovingly scattered across treasured locations, returning her to the places that shaped her spirit.
