Pat was such a vibrant person. We always had so much fun during our Sunday evening dinners at the Ranch. Pat would cook us something yummy and always have a delicious desert, and of course one of Johns famous vodka gimlets or maybe a little rum and coke. On a nice day we would hang out in the barn to visit the horses a bit and have some laughs .
Then came all the special antique garage sale items, she loved to have that stuff proudly displayed. It was always a bit of an adventure to check it out, see what treasures we could find and make a deal.
Pat was so nicely dressed and put together every day,
she was such a sweet lady and loved her family very much. We will always remember her, may she rest in peace.
Love Silke and Wayne

We will miss Pat greatly - she became like a grandmother to us. And like all of the best grandma´s she always, always had cookies. Whether we were at the barn or she was at our house she´d always bring out cookies for us. And they´d always be in either a cool whip container or a toll house cookie dough container. Cookies are the way to my heart and she sure knew that. She knew it always put a smile on our faces and the love she showed always putting in that effort until the very last time we saw her was so special.

Pat had a kind demeanor and inner strength. She had great love for John and family. Loved listening to her life stories and adventures. She would bake the best cookies and desserts that she brought to Fred and Cheryl´s home. I was fortunate to have known you. You are missed.

Pat and John are two of our favorite people. She'll be missed at our weekly breakfasts. I'll always remember her enthusiasm for having garage sales and her many stories of running the Dairie Cream and the bus company.
