Patricia was born on October 1, 1953, in Leon, Iowa to Howard Jeffrey and Ethel Mae Hamrick. On October 2, 1976, she was united in marriage to Mark Edward Butikofer. She was a loving mother to four children. Patricia originally moved to Bradenton, Florida from Iowa, eventually relocating to Springfield, Missouri. It was there, she and Mark retired and called home. Her hard-fought battle with ALS relocated her back to Iowa to be closer to her children to receive care.
Patricia loved puzzles, reading, and watching movies. She also enjoyed the outdoors, hiking and camping. Most of all, Patricia loved being surrounded by those she loved. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She will be remembered as a hard worker who loved compassionately and never gave up on anything or anyone.
