Patty Ann Kiser passed away on Tuesday, February 10th at home after a courageous battle with cancer surrounded by her family. 

She was born May 29,1951, along with her twin sister Penny to Robert A Johnson and Ruth L Dillon Johnson in Van Nuys, California.  The family moved to Weiser Idaho when she was young and eventually settled in Caldwell Idaho.  Patty attended Caldwell high school where she made many lifelong friends.  She enjoyed swimming; she was on the Junior Olympic team here in Idaho and became a lifeguard at the Caldwell Pool. 

In 1971 she met the love of her life and best friend Robert (Bob) Kiser when he was an attendant at a gas station.  They married on Nov 23, 1971, moving to Middleton, Idaho to begin their life together.  Raising two children, Rob and Renee.  Patty enjoyed watching her children play sports and cheering for them with Bob by her side.  They had the dream to travel when they retired and fulfilled that dream for many years.  They became “snowbirds” and began to meet and make many new friends in Arizona. She loved to play slot machines and one of her favorite casinos was in Laughlin, NV.  Patty always seemed to never meet a stranger along the way and touched many lives.  She loved her life and had many adventures with Bob on their 54-year journey. 

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me

Please try to understand

That an Angel came and called my name,

And took me by the hand;

The Angel said my place was ready,

In Heaven far above,

And that I’d have to leave behind

All those I dearly loved

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry

The way you did today…

While thinking of the many things

We did get to say

I know how much you love me,

As much as I love you…

When I walked through Heaven’s Gates,

I felt so much at home,

For God looked down, smiled at me

And told me “Welcome Home.”

So, When tomorrow starts without me,

Don’t think we’re far apart,

For every time you think of me

I’m right here in your heart.
