Patricia was born on September 27, 1943. She graduated as a class member of the first graduating class of Sheboygan South High School.

Patricia and Dennis were members of the Sheboygan Elks Lodge B.P.O.E. 299. They were also members of Our Lady of the Rosary Council 722. They both loved being involved with KC bingo at the KC Hall.  They made many close friends during their time spent at the KC Hall.

Patricia was a very proud grandmother. Her grandchildren would always look forward to ‘Grandma Camp.’
