One of Patricias favorite childhood memories was caring for a small chicken coop on her familys farm. Her chicks would wait for her after school, following her back to the barnyard. After graduation, Pat moved to Milwaukee to begin raising her family. She made sure that everyone was clean, clothed, and well fed by taking on sewing jobs, laundry, ironing, and babysitting. She always managed to save extra money to take the family on the train every August to visit relatives and the farms.
In the 1970s she began work at K-Mart as a cashier, and then as door greeter and in the garden center. After retiring she loved to take bus tours across the country with her sister Cecilia, spending time with her granddaughters, and attending church functions. She loved to cook, liked to polka, loved Elvis, and always kept an immaculate home and yard.
Rest well in God's embrace. We will miss you immensely!
