Patricia Agricola Langrock, fondly known as ‘Miss P.’ to all who loved her, died peacefully on November 9, 2026, from complications of Lewy body dementia. True to her nature, she kept her positive attitude and sunny disposition until the very end. She was 84 years young. Patti was born to Calvin D. and Mary Jane Agricola on September 29, 1942, in Boulder City, Nevada. When Patti was 18 months old, her father went into the Navy, serving during World War II, and returned home when she was five. After he returned, her brother Tom and sisters Shelley and Jill joined the family, and the family moved to Ogden, Utah.

Patti graduated from Weber High School and earned a degree in early childhood development from Utah State University. As a freshman and much to her chagrin, her Chi Omega sisters designated her as the sorority’s representative in the Miss Utah State pageant. Unsure what to do for the talent competition, Patti took her mother’s advice and showcased her gifted sewing skills, making and modeling an entire wardrobe. To her shock and dismay, her name was called, and she was crowned the winner. She went on to become a finalist in the Miss Utah pageant and was named to Utah State’s homecoming royalty.

It was at Utah State that a tall, blonde California boy spied Patti during her first week of freshman year, silently following her from one sorority house to another until she agreed he could give her a ride home. It was just the beginning of their lifelong love affair. David Langrock and Patti were married on September 12, 1963, and the start of him forever introducing her as “my bride”. After college, they moved to Ogden, UT, where their daughters Heidi and Holly were born, and she began her career as an educator.

Patti always enjoyed learning (as long as it wasn’t math) and knew as a very young child that she wanted to be a teacher. And what a teacher she was! Patti taught in Ogden School District’s elementary schools and at the Utah School for the Deaf and Blind. But her real legacy to many of Ogden’s youth and generations of families began when she opened Happy Hands Pre-School. For 32 years, “Miss Patti” gifted thousands of children the love of learning through imagination, art, and play. She could hardly make it through the grocery store without running into a former student or a parent who stopped to thank her for her influence and caring ways. Patti was a hard worker and took great pride in that work, and it showed.

An avid reader, Patti was part of several book clubs and supported the arts by attending ballets, plays, and symphonies, events that always started with a ladies’ lunch or dinner with her cherished friends, whom she loved dearly. Her curiosity took her across the U.S., and to Europe, Asia, Mexico, and the Caribbean, where she and Dave spent sunny days on the beach and warm nights dancing under the stars.

Above all, Patti’s greatest joy in life was her family. She taught her daughters to be independent and strong, treated her sons-in-law as her own, advocated for and cheered on her grandchildren, and took great pride in her siblings and their families. She was our wise advisor and biggest cheerleader through thick and thin. She came to every game, sewed the prom dresses and costumes, and read all the bedtime stories to her grandkids. She learned to ski at 40 just so she could be with her daughters, went on countless getaways with her husband, and made Christmas Day the most special celebration of the year.

Patti’s beauty wasn’t just skin deep. Her niece Erin calls Patti the most Christlike person she’s ever known. Patti radiated compassion, kindness, and empathy, firmly believing everyone should be treated with respect. She never wanted to burden anyone and often set her own needs aside for others’ feelings, making her a role model her family aspires to embody.

Oh, Miss P…Mimi…Mama!! What are we going to do without you? You’ve left us with a hole in our hearts that can only be filled with the love you fiercely gave to the moon and back. We love you madly, and miss you even more. XOXO

Patti was preceded in death by her husband, David Langrock. She leaves behind her daughter Heidi Langrock Larsen, son-in-law Jeff Larsen, and granddaughter Ali Larsen; daughter Holly Langrock Novak, son-in-law Matthew Novak, and grandchildren Olivia Novak and Loren Novak; brother Tom Agricola; sister Shelley Agricola, sister-in-law Jane Fehon; sister Jill Agricola Sparrow, brother-in-law Ben Sparrow; and beloved nieces and nephews and their families.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to the caregivers and entire staff at Spring Gardens Senior Living Holladay, Salt Lake City, UT. Over the past two years, you became Patti’s second family, treating her with dignity, compassion, and love. We will miss the many friends we made there.

At Patti’s request, no formal services will be held. Instead, her family will take her to join Dave in the waves of Turks and Caicos.
