Patricia Ann Sage

Patricia Ann Sage, 84, passed away on September 25, 2026, in Gannett, Idaho. She was born on August 4, 1942, in Landingville, Pennsylvania, to the late Sarah and James Coller.

Pat grew up in Landingville, a place that remained close to her heart throughout her life. It was there that she met and married the love of her life, Thomas Arthur Sage, on July 7, 1962. Together, they built a life filled with adventure, hard work, and a deep appreciation for the places they called home.

Pat began her career in business administration in Pennsylvania before eventually following her heart West. She and Tom moved to Big Sky, Montana, where Pat spent many years as the General Manager of the 320 Guest Ranch. She embraced the Montana way of life and the community around her, bringing her warmth, strength, and unmistakable personality to everything she did. She especially cherished her time at the ranch, including her beloved 5:00 coffee on the deck. After retiring, Pat and Tom made their home in Stanford, Montana.

Pat was an active member of the American Legion Auxiliary, serving in both Big Sky and Stanford. She also served as a Montana hunter safety instructor for many years. Her involvement reflected her dedication to her community and the importance she placed on service and patriotism.

Pat found some of her greatest happiness outdoors. She loved the mountains, hunting, and fishing, and she especially loved sharing those passions with her family. She also loved to sing, and her love of music became a gift she passed down through the generations of her family.

Pat is survived by her children, Thomas G. (Carla) Sage and Sandra McCord; her grandchildren, James McCord, Haley McCord, Michael (Hannah) McCord, John Mark McCord, Thomas G. (Kate) Sage Jr., Hannah (Kyle) Miller, and Rachel (Andrew) Bell; and her three great-grandchildren, Elliot, Nico, and James.

In addition to her parents, Pat was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Thomas A. Sage, and her three sisters, Carolyn Stephany, Christine Zimmerman, and Shirley Emerich

Pat will be remembered for her adventurous spirit, her unmistakable spunky personality, her love of God, family, and country, and the many lives she touched throughout her life.
