We loved pat very much. When we made a trip to Iowa we ALWAYS visited her and Bud before he passed. Bud married us in 1979. We have always loved them both dearly. Our condolences to their family and friends. ❤

Pat was the best mother-in-law any woman could ever hope to have. She not only made me feel loved when I was her daughter-in-law, but she continued to make me feel loved whenever special family events brought the two of us together through the years. She was truly a woman of strength, grace and beauty. With love, prayers and sympathy for the family.

So sad to hear of Pat's passing. She was like a second mother to me growing up. I spent a lot of my grade school thru high school years in their house and with their kids. I called her a couple months ago and we had a nice chat. So thankful that we had that conversation. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. RIP

1936 - 2022 What mattered most is the dash between those years. The dash represents all the time she spent alive on earth and only those who loved her know what that little line is worth. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
