Patricia "Paté" Warren, age 68, passed away on January 22, 2026, in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Born on November 25, 1957, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Paté lived a life marked by creativity, generosity, and an unwavering spirit.
A proud graduate of John Marshall High School and MATC Business College, Paté brought dedication and heart to every role she held throughout her career. She spent many years working as a server, where her warmth and easygoing nature made her a favorite among patrons. Her time at Harley Davidson was another point of pride—an experience that connected her to the open road she so loved. But perhaps the role that brought her the most joy was working in the floral department at Pic N Save. There, she found the perfect blend of creativity and purpose, crafting beautiful arrangements that reflected her artistic soul.
Paté's love for crafting extended far beyond work. Her home was filled with spaces dedicated to her creations—holiday decorations made with care for friends and family, each piece infused with her unique touch. She found joy in giving and often crafted simply for the pleasure it brought others.
A true Harley enthusiast, Paté embraced the freedom of the road. From Washington D.C. to Sturgis and countless places in between, she rode with passion and pride. Her motorcycle wasn't just a mode of transportation—it was an extension of who she was: bold, free-spirited, and full of life.
She was also a devoted fan of the Milwaukee Brewers and especially admired Robin Yount. Meeting him was a highlight in her life; she cherished their photos together and proudly displayed his autographs as treasured mementos.
Though not a regular churchgoer, Paté held deep Christian beliefs and had a special fondness for angels��her home adorned with them as symbols of peace and protection. Now, as those who loved her say goodbye, they take comfort in knowing she has earned her own wings.
Paté's generosity knew no bounds. Whether friend or stranger, if someone was in need, she gave without hesitation—even when it meant going without herself. Her heart was immense���too big for just one lifetime—and even in her final days, she continued to offer what little she had to others.
She is lovingly remembered by her siblings Marion Lois Egbert (Goes), Richard David Goes (and his wife Cindee Goes), and Cynthia Marie Goes; nieces and nephews Matthew Michael Patt ( and his wife Chellsi Patt) , Danielle Baulmann, Christopher Goes, and Robert Goes; as well as grand-nephew Jackson Patt and grand-niece Stella Patt.
She now joins in rest her beloved parents Edward Goes and Carol Goes (Wagner), along with Ken M., the love of her life.
Patricia "Paté" Warren will be deeply missed—not only today but in all the years to come. Her light shone brightly through every act of kindness and every heartfelt conversation. May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her and inspire others to live with the same open-hearted generosity that defined her life. A Celebration of Life will be held on June 20, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 11:45 PM at TBD TBD
