Patricia was a member of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Oakfield. Patricia was a loving and caring daughter, a fun-loving and dedicated sister, a strong and beautiful wife, a compassionate and wonderful mother, an encouraging and generous grand-mother, and a grateful and happy great-grandmother. In her earlier years, she helped out on her dad and mom’s farm, was a telephone operator, and then went on to get her teaching education, which then turned into her grade school teaching and middle-school librarian and secretary positions.

She is preceded in death by her husband and parents. One of the most important things about Patricia was that she loved the Lord Jesus Christ and it showed. She was filled with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. She prayed everyday for her husband, children and grand-children and great-grandchild that they would continue to take their faith and run the race. She loved the Lord God with all her heart, soul and mind, and loved her neighbor as herself. What a Blessing she was and she will always be remembered!
