Patsy Ruth TSCHIDA

Eulogy for Patsy Ruth Tschida March 12, 1929-October 29, 2023 My siblings and I want to thank you all for being here with us today to honor our mother, Patsy Ruth Tschida.   Many of you have told us how much Patsy meant to you, how sweet and kind she was, and how she truly made the world a better place. We think so too, and want to share a little more with you about her life, and the qualities that we think made this simple woman simply remarkable.  To say that Patsy grew up in...

I remember `Patsy´ as the exuberant, fast moving `Mrs. Tschida´ I admired when, as a Mac student, Chris would invite me to her St Paul home. Unlike other mothers I knew. Mrs. Tschida genuinely LIKED her kids, and it showed! Her humor was always on display and her hospitality was warm, accepting. Mrs. T. made a home that welcomed the stranger. Now she rests from all her good works. A long life. A good life. "Her children rise up and call her `blessed.´ "

Patsy will be missed more than words can express. She has been the window that allowed me to briefly experience my loving mother; her dear sister who passed on the same day years earlier. When I saw Patsy, I could see my mother and when I listened to Patsy, I could hear my mother. Thank you, Patsy, for always checking on me all these years and may you now rest in eternal peace my dearest auntie.
