Weidinger, Patricia
1927 - 2019
Patricia Marie (Mangas) Weidinger, age 91, of Columbus, Ohio, passed away peacefully on May 2, 2019, with her loving husband and family by her side, following a short and painfree battle with cancer. She was born on May 27, 1927 in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of the late John and Mildred Mangas. On June 26, 1948, she married William Daniel Weidinger. Together they shared over seventy years of love and companionship. Survivors include sister, Marge Replogle; brother, Jack Mangas; and her children, Bill (Ann) Weidinger, Joe (Debby) Weidinger (Debby), Tom (Karen) Weidinger, Jane (Dan) Wolford, Mary Jo (Dean) Kiourtsis; 12 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her sister Helen Manrow. After high school Pat undertook nurses training and worked as a doctor's assistant until marriage and motherhood redirected her efforts. Once her children reached school age, she re-entered the work force as a school principal's assistant, hospital aide and orthodontic scheduling coordinator. Pat was an active volunteer at the Ronald McDonald house, Telephone Pioneer Luncheons, CAPA, Triangle Club (Ohio Bell), and the Golden Hobby Shop in German Village. She was an avid gardener; her yard abundant with flowers and blooms through the Spring and Summer. She was a master quilter, designing and creating close to one hundred quilts which were often donated to charitable causes. The remaining quilts are part of her family legacy, in the possession of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Pat's proudest achievement was being the strong-willed and clear-eyed matriarch of a loving and close-knit family. She will continue to live on through bright and warm memories shared by loved ones. Husband Bill and all the family are extremely grateful to the warm and dedicated staff of The Forum at Knightsbridge who made her final days as pleasant and comfortable as they could possibly be. A celebration of Pat's life will be held Monday, May 27 at The Forum at Knightsbridge, 4625 Knightsbridge Boulevard from 1-2:30 p.m. Donations may be made to American Brain Tumor Assoication at www.ABTA.Org.

My condolences to the entire Weidinger family. I grew up just a few doors away on Shenandoah Drive in Reynoldsburg. I remember very fondly one family vacation to Atwood Lake and Mr. Weidinger's Cruises around the lake in his Canue, not to mention the impeccable yard at their house. Good memories of very good people! Rest In Peace Mrs. Weidinger.

In my last conversation with Mom, I talked about legacy. I told her that I was blessed to be born into a family that was strong, loving, and close-knit - not everyone is so lucky. Deb and I have been able to pass on that gift to our children, and now we see it being passed on to our children's children. If the Weidinger family has an heirloom, that is it. Thank you Mom, and thank you Dad, for the greatest gift any parent can give.

So many memories of Pat and Bill coming to Colorado and letting me become an honorary part of the family as Liz's godmother. Pat had so much energy and when combined with Jane's, I was exhausted. I've watched her garden, paint, wallpaper, quilt, hike (and that was probably in one day.) Thank you, Pat for modeling a life well lived with love. You will always be in our hearts. Thank you all for sharing her with so many of us!

I loved spending time with Grandma painting, sewing and doing crafts. She would always come to my games/recitals whenever she could and would tell me how proud she was of me. I remember playing in her yard and she would teach me about all the different flowers, the snapdragons were always my favorite. One of my favorite memories was when she came over and beat all of Will's friends in arm wrestling and they were humiliated. You will forever be loved and missed Grandma. Stay strong Grandpa, we are all here for you. Love, Zoe
