A friend like no other, so many memories. Her loving kindness to all, willingness to help all. A wonderful volunteer at the Wild Rose Theada care hospital. She made many pies for the bake sales, she made many quilts and crafts for the craft Fairs. May she Rest In Peace with our Lord.

She was such a sweet lady and my kids loved her dearly. One memory I have is every time I invited her to the kids birthday parties she would always bring something for me to and I thought that was so sweet. Looking around this time of year she also gave me cute Christmas bells that all my kids.
We have many memories of the years we were neighbors with Jim and Pat.
Please accept our deepest sympathy and know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Many years back I bowled on a league with Pat. She was such a kind and loving person. We had many laughs and great times. She was one of a kind in a great way. My sympathy and prayers to the entire family.
Pat was like a second mother to my son Brad. She was such a beautiful lady and a great
friend. My deepest sympathy to your family and prayers and hugs for all.

My wonderful loving cousin “Patsy” was my baby sitter a couple of times, probably when mom was at a church ladies meeting. One time I wanted to play “beauty shop” and she put about 20 pig tails all over my head. 😊. Mom laughed when she came to pick me up but not so much when she had to get them all out and untangle the snarls. I have many wonderful memories which I will carry in my heart.
One of the first dates that Mike took me on was Thanksgiving Day dinner at Aunt Pat and Uncle Jim's. I knew his family from working along side his mother, Beverly at Union State Bank, but Mike bringing a date to Thanksgiving was a "big deal"! This became our family tradition that we all enjoyed for the past 17 years (with a brief hiccup from COVID!). Aunt Pat graciously accepted me in to the family, along with my kids and their kids! She was a mentor, a teacher , friend and my surrogate mother❤️
