Patricia Applebee

Patricia A. Applebee, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, of Fulton, was called home on August 12, 2020 at the age of 91 years young. She was born to Sallie J. Thompson ad Frank G. Kramer, Sr. in 1929 in Mexico, Mo. Patricia married Maurice G. "Red" Dunn in 1948, and he proceded her in death. On September 4, 1959, she and Robert C. Applebee were wed, and he preceded her in death as well. Having a snarky-silly sense of humor, she loved to make people laugh. She had many adventures in her life such as kissing the Blarney Stone atop Blarney Castle, Ireland. Patricia loved animals and children. In her last months, feeding and watching birds was a great joy to her. She is survived by a son, Steven Dunn (RuthAnn) of St. Louis; a daughter, Suze Durk (Gary) of Auxvasse, granddaughters and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Frank Kramer, Jr. She will be greatly missed by family and friends. As Pat wished, no memorial services will be held and family will celebrate her life at a later time. Memorial contributions may be sent to St. Jude's Children Cancer Research. Arrangements handled by Columbia Cremation Care Center.
