Pat was a friend I met in the 1990s, we became close, then we kind of lost track of each other, as people sadly will do. I recently decided to search the "net" one more time to see if I could get in contact with her once again. I was led here. Sorrowful news. Belated condolences and prayers to her family and many friends. She was a marvelous personality and great wit.

Patti was the first born of the grandchildren of Leonard and Rose Zahn.

What a little doll she was! I spent many hours playing and taking care of her. I also, loved taking pictures of her.

Patti grew from a perfect child, to a perfect adult, always putting others first.

Patti seemed to have a nice balance in her life of work and play. She was intelligent, hard-working and had many interest. She was a voracious reader of books, magazines, and newspapers.
I feel...

Pat & I met on her #18 bd on our first day of college. As my name was also Pat, I became Trish to all the Petersens, the name they all call me 40 yrs later. We have remained close thru the yrs, taking a few trips together. She attended my sons wedding last summer. I visited with her over Labor Day-she was so sick but still the same Pat I knew and loved. I miss her so much-my love to the family. Trisha

I had ordered a forced bulb vase for Pat this Christmas. Since she decided to go home to Nebraska I told her I would deliver them when she got back.Well she passed away before I could deliver the vase. Last week the bulbs were forcing their way up and out. Red tulips, white snow flowers , crocuses, a hyacinth, the fragrence is total pleasure. I know Pat's essence of love and friendship is in that vase of beauty. Pat was 29 and I was 32 when we met.We go back a long way, and journeyed thru...

Our love and understanding sympathy is sent to all of Pat's family and friends. You were a tremendous help to her while she battled her illness.....and Sis, you even learned to drive in metro St.Louis traffic. We're so proud of Pat for being so strong and courageous, even making the Christmas trip to Nebraska to be with her family.
Losing her has left a hole in our hearts.....may we all remember the happy times we've shared with our special Patti L.

Pat was and will always be 'larger than life'. We hadn't corresponded much over the last few years, but I will always remember the wonderful times that I did spend in her company. She will definitely be missed.
