Patricia "Pat" (Jetton) Dowling, wife, mother and grandmother, passed today, January 2, 2020, after a long fought and courageous battle with ovarian and kidney cancer.  Pat was born in Slick, Oklahoma on October 26, 1943 to Winnie Robert and Anna May Pearl (Mallow) Jetton.  After losing both her parents at an early age, Pat was taken in and raised by family friends, Pete and Pearl Glisson.   In her earlier years, the family moved around Texas and Oklahoma, finally settling in Rush Springs, Oklahoma, where she met her husband Gary Dowling.   They were married on January 8, 1962, and immediately started their family, having son's Rickey and Timothy, followed by daughter Michelle several years later.  In 1965, they moved to Houston, where Gary joined Drilco, Inc. as a machinist. The couple did whatever they could to support their household. Pat not only raised the children, but worked multiple jobs to ensure that her family was taken care of.  In 1976, Gary and Pat formed their own company Bore-Tech Inc., which became Dow Machine Corp. in 1984.  Starting their own business was their dream, and both Gary and Pat worked tirelessly every day to make it a successful enterprise.  However, their true focus was the well-being and support of their family.   Gary preceded Pat in death on July 22, 2012, from lung cancer.  Pat and Gary leave behind son's Rickey (wife Sandy) and Timothy Dowling (wife Debbie), daughter Michelle Dubiski (fiancé Jimmy); grandchildren Codey (wife Katie), Taylor, Garrett, Jake, Chase Dowling, and Madison and Ty Dubiski.  She also leaves behind countless nieces, nephews, family and friends.

The family would like to invite friends and associates to a visitation on Sunday, January 5 ^th , from 5:00-8:00pm, at the Klein Funeral Home, Champions, 16131 Champions Forest Drive, Klein, Texas  77379.    A private family only service and interment will be held on Monday, January 6 ^th ,  at the Klein Memorial Park, Spring-Klein, 9714 FM 2920, Tomball, Texas.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Patricia's name to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital to help end childhood cancer.
