Florence Pachak Obituary
November 12, 1919 and lived there until the age of 14 when the family moved to Colorado.
Preceded in death by her parents and five siblings, her husband Walter E. Pachak, Sr., son Peter L. Pachak, great grandson Andrew Pachak, and many other family members.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Walter (Linda) Pachak, Jane (Mark) Bowen, Mark (Nancy Richmond) Pachak, Valerie Pachak and Dorothy (John) Cummins. Also survived by her seven grandchildren, two great granddaughters, three great-great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
She worked at the Frankford Arsenal and graduated from their first all female optical repair class in 1943. She was a member of the Society of Military Widows. She was a devout Catholic.
Bobsie, like Walt, had a passion for the mountains. She enjoyed real estate sales and loved walking her mountain properties. She also enjoyed the sea shore and spent time with family every summer at Wildwood NJ. She became an artist late in life after taking art classes at the Senior Center. She had a zest for life!
Funeral mass will be held at 1:00 PM Monday December 22 at Divine Redeemer Catholic Church, 927 N. Logan Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80909. Reception immediately following.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Colorado Springs Senior Center, 1514 Hancock Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80903

The Gazette wrote a wonderful story about Bobsie on her 90th birthday celebrating that the Pachak family were the first homeowners in Bonnyville. It was suggested that the community be renamed "Bobseyville" in her honor. We as neighbors heartily agree. She will be greatly missed by her North Wahsatch neighbors (adopted family.) Our sympathy goes out to Bobsey's children and extended family in this time of sadness.
Sincerely,
Elaine Ross, Joyce Dearing and Sally and Dick Hyles
