Passed away February 21, 2019 in her home in Maplewood at the age of 67. Preceded in death by her parents Louis and Marcella and her brothers Louie and Peter. Survived by Husband Gary; Children Dwayne (Dawn), Brian (Beth) and Christine (Allen) and nine grandchildren, her sisters Lois and Roxanne and brother Bobby.
Patrichia was a loving Mother to her three children and nine grandchildren. During her lifetime she wore many hats whether it be a Costume designer, Construction worker, House Mother, Crafter, Care Giver or Baker. By far her passion was baking cakes for family and friends and friends of friends. She would painstakingly stay up late just to make sure that the wedding cake would be perfect.
Patrichia worked for the Schimdt Brewery for around 15 years before it shut down in the early nineties; there she made many friends. There are friends, close friends and best friends. While Bonnie was probably my Moms best friend, her closest friends were her sisters Roxanne and Lois.
Now we come to her husband of more than 50 years, whether you consider Gary her husband or not they have been married and divorced to each other twice, but as Father Mike always said, “they’re still married in the eyes of the Lord”. I know they still loved each other.
Memorial Mass on Friday, March 1, 2019, 11:00 AM at the CHURCH OF ST. CASIMIR, 934 Geranium Ave. E., St. Paul. Visitation one hour prior to Mass. In lieu of flowers memorials preferred.
