Pat was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin and attended Madison East High School where she met her high school sweetheart, Evan. They were married in 1958. Evan’s work brought the family to Milwaukee in 1961. Pat was a stay-at-home Mom until her girls were in middle school when she was offered a job with School Pictures which she enjoyed for many years. Pat and Evan enjoyed spending time with friends at card club and bowled on a couple’s league for many years. When Pat retired, she discovered golf and was hooked. PJ (as she was known to her golfing buddies) loved golfing and the friendships that were formed on and off the fairways. PJ golfed in two ladies’ leagues for many years and looked forward to their annual golf outing with her dear friends. Pat and Evan enjoyed their annual get-away at Fox Hills, for more golf of course. Pat loved her growing family very much. Cooking was her love language and she had a creative flair always reminding us that you eat first with your eyes and would say, “Make it pretty.” And, she did. Pat’s potato salad has stood the test of time, it’s delicious, however, anyone who had the pleasure of enjoying her cooking would tell you she was a great cook! Pat is loved deeply and we know she is enjoying the Fairways in Heaven.
A Memorial Visitation will be held on Saturday, March 13, 2021 from 9-11AM at Oklahoma Avenue Lutheran Church (5335 W. Oklahoma Ave.). A service will follow at 11AM. Burial Wisconsin Memorial Park Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift in Pat’s memory to the V Foundation for Cancer Research, Oklahoma Avenue Lutheran Church or the charity of your choice.

Thank you Chris for your love and support. I forgot about that birdie pin, she was so happy for us and enjoyed sharing it with us. God bless you!
I remember all great meals I enjoyed with your family! Your mom made the best spaghetti and I was always so happy when she invited me to stay for dinner, because I knew whatever she made would be really good.
