Service Details

Patricia Weikert, age 78, passed away Tuesday, June 14, 2022 with her family by her side.

Pat was born December 9, 1943 in Buchanan County, Missouri. She worked as an insurance underwriter for many years prior to her retirement. She was a little bit Irish and had an ornery Irish streak. She enjoyed bowling in her younger years.

Pat loved all animals and enjoyed driving through parks and the fairgrounds to see what animals she could spot. The State Fair was an annual event and you could always find her and Jim at the Depot during Fair season. She had a sweet tooth and was an elegant lady, always beautifully put together from having her nails done to her standing weekly 9:30 hair appointment with Anita.

Pat was loved by everyone. She was kind and devoted to her family and friends. She was a humble person who always put others before herself. She will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her husband of 31 years, James Earl Weikert; her children, Jeff “Reggie” Recker (Kelli), James C. Weikert (Andrea), Kate Weikert, and Anne Salyards (Jason); her grandchildren, Connor, Meredith and Brody Recker, Anna Duzenberry and Alex Weikert; sister-in-law, Claudia Miranda; and other extended family and friends.

Pat was preceded in death by her aunt and uncle, Doris and Walt Joachim; her mother, Donna “LaRue Neely” Thompson; mother and father in law, Doris Mae and Morris Weikert; and cousins, Norma Lee and Leo Miller.

There will be a memorial visitation from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Sunday, June 19, 2022 at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to the family in loving memory of Pat.
