Patricia "Pat" Kay Dockery

Patricia “Pat” Kay (Murray) Dockery of Castner Falls, MT lost her battle with cancer on June 2, 2022, at the age of 72. Pat was born on May 23, 1950, to Joseph “Joe” and Betty Murray in Lewistown. She was the fourth of seven children. She grew up in Danvers and graduated from Denton High School in 1968. She married her first husband James “Jim” McKinney in 1970. They had two children together, their daughter, Brandi in 1973 and their son, Dustin “Dusty” in 1979. They divorced in 1986 but remained friends. Pat later met her husband Robert “Doc” Dockery, and they were married in 1988. She was blessed with another son, Josh, from Doc’s previous marriage. She and Doc had two children together, their daughter, Danielle “Dani” in 1989 and their son, William “David” in 1991. Pat loved her family and did not believe in ‘step’ or ‘half,’ they were all just her kids and grandkids. That love was also shown to friends of her kids and grandkids, who became part of her large extended family. She enjoyed any and all activities with family and spent as much time as possible with them. Camping, at races, at grandkids’ sports events, or just being together was where she was her happiest. She also enjoyed puzzles, poetry, coffee, the outdoors, traveling, music, and movies. Pat was dearly loved and will be missed by many. Pat is survived by her husband, Doc Dockery of Castner Falls; daughters, Brandi (Ron) Dunn and Dani (Dustin) Dockery both of Great Falls; sons, Dusty (Paige) McKinney of Great Falls, Josh (Heather) Dockery of Statesboro, GA, David (Becca) Dockery of Great Falls; sister, Judy Miller of Great Falls; her beloved aunt, Bev Murray of Lewistown; many grandchildren; a great-granddaughter; numerous nieces and nephews; and ex-husband, Jim McKinney of Great Falls. She was preceded in death by her grandparents; parents, Joe and Betty Murray; siblings, Joey, Bettie, Mike, Tim, and Scott; and numerous aunts and uncles. A celebration of life will be held at Victory Christian Church in Great Falls at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 18, 2022. Interment will take place at Philbrook Cemetery at a later date.
