Rich, Brian, and family - Pat was a bright light with a beautiful smile who shared her joy in life - Lou and I enjoyed her friendship through soccer games and I, at Lahser High School. May God bless and comfort you.

Patsy you were so kind and I will never forget when Chantelle got married you and Mr Ludwig were watching Chantelle and Taylor have their 1st dance at their wedding and you were both hugging each other with such love and admiration as you watched your granddaughter it was beautiful.

Rich and Family,
We are so sorry we are unable to travel to get to the area for Patsy's Celebration of Life! Mom and Dad are especially hurting for you as you have always been special and dear friends to them. Our fondest memories of growing up in the neighborhood; Beach Boys concerts in the back yard, Patsy yelling at Rich for taking us on late night sled rides across the lake, Richie, Brian's and my brothers activities surrounded by your "Lady of the Lakes Family"! We are blessed to have known her. She was such a positive, happy, and loving soul. We are with you in Spirit and Hope that you find peace in sharing your memories today surrounded by people who Love you All!

Patsy was our dear, beautiful friend and we loved her very much. I know she will be missed by everyone who knew her. Patsy had a big heart, was genuinely warm, kind, and so thoughtful, and she gave the best hugs!! She was a loving and amazing wife and mom, a loving nana, and a loving mom-in-law. Patsy adored all her grandkids and was so proud of them. Tom said he loved the way nana Patsy "ENTHUSIASTICALLY" cheered on her grandkids from the sidelines at all their sporting events. Her family truly was everything to her. May her life be an eternal memory in all our hearts. We will miss you Patsy.
Please accept our heartfelt sympathies, Tom and Cheryl Howard

To the best nana in the entire world, this week has been terrible to get through without you, but Ive been surrounded with little things that remind me of you. And it reassured me to know that youre here with me everyday. I will always miss you at my soccer games cheering me on. Ill miss the hows my cay cay calls, dont forget we still have to go get some queso in Florida. I hope youre enjoying curly fries and cheese up in heaven. You were and are still the very best nana.

You left way too soon, but I cant thank you enough for everything you have done for me. Thank you for raising the best dad in the whole world, I love you both more than anything. I have learned to live life to the fullest and dance all the time. And enjoy my family. We have the best family ever nana, we really do. Its not the same with out you, and it will never be.

My mom couldn't have had chosen a better best friend. Our families were very lucky to share many memories together, from Florida trips, our trip to Cedar Point (hidden Hershey bars) along with many times at the lake, whether it was at your home, or up here in Traverse City. Your personality always lit up any room that you were in. I will forever hold all those memories close to my heart. God Bless
Rich, Richie, Brian and families, sending you all hugs and prayers during this difficult time. Love you all

That will never be lost in our memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rich and the family at this very difficult time. Love, Hugh and Arlene Marshke.

It is with our deepest sympathy that we acknowledge the passing of Patsy, your loving wife and life partner, the Mother of your children and the loving Grandmother of your children's children. She was a joy to be around and she always presented a positive mannerism that made those around her feel good and feel loved. May the good Lord welcome her home!
