This obituary was originally published in the Star Tribune.
Wow, I didn't know this was available. All I can say is we have lost a wonderful, vibrant, and deeply loving (and loved) member of our family. To all who knew Patty, she was always there to lend you whatever you needed, if it was in her power. Still today I think about calling her and then I know, all I have to do is say her name and she is here.

To everyone who knew her I am sorry for your loss. I will miss her burnt cookies and other meals as well as the ones that turned out great as she was a excellent cook. And candy? Hey, Whitmans ain't got nothin' on her! She was always willing to help anyone and would not hesitate to jump in and help in times of need with both sleeves rolled up. She stood up for what she believed. I was fortunate to have her as my mother. She is missed.

I know that I never got to spend much time with you grama, but that just made everytime that I saw you that much more special. I will never forget how motivated and energetic you were. I will always cherish the memories I have of you. I know that if the rest of the family could write they would tell you how much they love and miss you, so from all of us, WE LOVE YOU!

Aunt Patty will be missed. She was cherished by our mother Joyce Ziebell. Our mom shared many stories of your mother's unlimited hospitality. Mom would boast about Patty's home cooking, hard work and loving spirit. One of our mother's last wishes when she fell ill was to visit your mother in Arizona. Both were fortunate to have one last visit together before Joyce's passing. We are very sad for your loss. She will be dearly missed.

Pat was a terrific mother-in-law and grandmother. I'll always remember her beautiful hand-made blankets and her in the kitchen. I learned a lot from her and was glad to have her in my life.
