Pat was born in East Grand Rapids, Michigan. She graduated from Shelby high school in 1973. Pat then moved to Milwaukee to attend Wisconsin Lutheran College where she met her future husband, Tim. She continued her education at Carroll College and years later completed her master’s degree in social work at UWM.
Pat loved her church and was a longtime member of Victory of the Lamb in Franklin. She loved her boys and spending time with her family, and serving her Savior through the ministry of WELS Lutherans for Life.
If so desired, memorials to WELS Lutherans for Life or Victory of the Lamb appreciated.
1 John 3:1. See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

Pat was so kind and welcoming. She was able to speak about her Lord and Savior with joy and total love!!
Auntie Pat was a spiritual rock of the family and a person to count on when anyone in the family needed support of any kind. She is not physically with us anymore but I am grateful to be able to carry memories of her with me for the rest of my life. Her example of how to make those around her feel included and loved is invaluable.
I haven’t seen Pat for a very long time, however, my memories of her are still fresh as ever. We were roommates at WLC, in the “Monestery” where we shared laughter and love. I will miss her.. Tim, my prayers of comfort are with you. She is now singing with the angels praising God.

Although I did not know Pat well, I have known Tim for many, many years. He has helped me work through many of my own family and friends passings. I now extend personal condolences to him and his family. I will refer you to Ephesians 2:8 “For it is by grace that you are saved, through faith, and not from yourselves, it is a gift of God.”
My friendship with Pat began about 40+ years ago when we both became volunteers with Lutherans for Life ministries at its inception.. We were a small group who wanted to serve the Lord by sharing His love with abortion minded women. Pat soon after emerged as a leader, and proved to be invaluable in efforts to warn of the risks of that choice, as well as the priveledge of becoming a mother of one of God’s precious children! Her wise and loving ways were a perfect fit for the work and she was very much appreciated for assuming the roles she took on over the years! She was a dear friend, ( and Tim as well!) and she will be so missed!!, Thank God for giving us eternal life to share and enjoy forever with no goodbyes ever!!!💕✝️💕. May God’s promises be your comfort! Sincerely, Sharon
My deepest condolences. Although I went to the wrong Heritage Funeral Home this morning, on my drive home I remembered with fondness being on the Board of Lutherans for Life with Pat almost 40 years ago. Rest in peace dear sister in Christ. Jean Biffel
My deepest condolences to you Tim and your family. Pat was a very kind person and she will surely be missed by all who knew her. I pray for your family to heal and to be joyful that she is looking after us all. God Bess you Tim and your family
