Pat Rader, 84, of Gainesville, died Oct. 22, 2017, at her residence. Her life was recognized at the memorial service celebrating the life of her sister, June Baker, on Oct. 30 at the Clarkridge Baptist Church in Clarkridge, Arkansas. The sisters died two days apart. She was born March 29, 1933, in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of Raymond Rader and Louise Goff.
