Patricia Ann Haislip-Baney

Patricia Ann Haislip-Baney, born on May 20, 1952, in Radford, Virginia to Elva Leigh Haislip and Donna Blake-Haislip, passed away on June 30, 2025, in Englewood, Colorado. Patricia spent her formative years in Dearborn, Michigan, where she graduated from Dearborn High School.

On September 4, 2004, Pat married her loving husband, Dan Baney, in Champion, Nebraska. Together they built a life filled with warmth and shared experiences. As a homemaker, Pat nurtured her family and had a rich tapestry of work experience throughout her life.

Her passions extended beyond her family to her many hobbies, which included woodworking, crafting, sewing, and singing. Pat loved going to farm sales, with Labor Day Sales being a favorite. She would come home with a pickup and trailer full of things she got. She and Dan would laugh on the way home and ask, “What are we going to do with all this stuff?” It would take three days to sort it all out. Pat’s love for animals and affinity for her peacocks was evident to all who knew her. She especially enjoyed tending to her miniature donkey herd.

A dedicated member of the United Methodist Church, Pat was actively involved in numerous committees, including the UMW, Debora Circle Worship Committee, Choir, and Funeral Committee. Her contributions to the church community underscored her deep commitment to service and fellowship, enriching the lives of those around her.

Pat is survived by her husband, Dan Baney; daughter, Trina Spooner; son, Timothy Spooner; granddaughter, Carly VanLaningham; and grandson, Evan Goodell.

She was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Donna Leigh Maritay.
