She courageously fought many battles with cancer over 26 years. Patti attended St. Mary's Catholic School and Auburndale High School, and received her RN degree with honors from Northcentral Technical College in Wausau. Patti touched many lives during her employment as a registered nurse at Sunnyvale in Wausau, Appleton Medical Center and Bethany Homes in Fargo, N.D. She was a hard working, compassionate nurse that loved caring for the elderly. Patti will be remembered for her sense of humor, generosity, independence, courage and deep love for her family. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and nurse. She was grateful, beyond words, for her brother Gene's donation of NK cells that helped get her in remission from AML and Mark for enduring several trips to Minneapolis to donate his bone marrow cells, lymphocytes and the miracle stem cells that gave her six great months before the leukemia returned in February.... excerpt from Marshfield News Herald; May 12, 2012 Inscription: Married June 4, 1983 Burial: Saint Marys Catholic Cemetery Auburndale Wood County Wisconsin, USA Plot: northeast area of cemetery. |
