Mrs. Patricia J. Bolser of Atlanta, Michigan passed away on February 19, 2023 at the age of 93 years. She was born to Cecil and Cora (Parks) Todd on June 16, 1929 at the family home in Flint. She married Bennie L. Bolser in that same house on August 28, 1948 and together the couple celebrated 74 years of marriage before her passing.  Pat graduated from Flint Central High School and attended Flint Community College. She was employed in her earlier years as secretary to the City of Flint Treasurer and later as secretary to the Genesee Township Treasurer before moving to Atlanta. Pat and Ben moved to Atlanta in 1968 where Ben worked as the press operator for the Montmorency Tribune and Pat was Atlanta’s librarian. In 1972, they purchased the Abstract and Title Insurance office and operated until 1994 when they both retired. She was a member of the Atlanta Congregational United Church of Christ and was the past clerk for 30+ years.
