Patricia Kay Beyer, 64, of Sheboygan passed away on Sunday, December 29th, 2024 at Aurora Sheboygan Medical Center following a sudden decline in her health. She put up a valiant fight for more than 10 years before succumbing to illness.
Patti was born in Sheboygan to Elroy and Marion Ziemer (nee Lefebvre) on November 6, 1960. She attended area schools and graduated from North High School in 1979. Not long after, she met Mark, the love of her life, while working at Kohler Co. They were united in marriage on May 9, 1980 at Immanuel Lutheran Church and spent the next 44 years navigating the twists and turns of life together.
A vibrant spirit with a compassionate and generous heart, Patti had a knack for making those around her feel loved and valued. She delighted in joyful moments and spent countless hours making elaborate Birthday Chairs, designing amazing Halloween costumes, and creating legendary holiday light displays. She enjoyed game nights with family and friends, spending time immersed in nature at the cottage up north, and traveling. She fell in love with Aruba, and for several years looked forward to her annual visit.
Together with her husband Mark, Patti raised five beautiful children and opened her home to many more. She treasured her role as Grandma to Jocelyn and Ethan and all her furbabies. She was a faithful and thoughtful friend.
She will be deeply missed by those who survive her including her husband Mark; daughter Lindy (Roman Golbienko) of Seattle; son Ryan (Abby Block) of Sheboygan; daughter Chrysta (Turkey “Little B”, Kodak, Roamona) of Milwaukee; her nieces Amanda Ziemer of Sacramento, CA and Eve Angela (Bre) Giles of Woodbury, MN, whom she raised and treated as her own, and her grandbabies Jocelyn and Ethan of Woodbury.
She is further survived by her sisters, Donna Woefel of Green Bay and Diane (Michael) Mertes of Hingham; her brother Daniel Ziemer of Sheboygan Falls; her sister-in-law Aileen Beyer of Sheboygan Falls; niece Sara Mertes of Kewaskum and nephew Kyle (Ashley) Mertes of Oostburg; niece Crystal (Leticia Sanchez) Ziemer of Antelope, CA; nephew Randy (Shoshanah Garcia) Ziemer of Pioneer, CA; best friend Don Okcugil of Sheboygan; good friend Ken Cormier of Canada; and many other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Marion and Elroy.
