Patricia was born February 24, 1946, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Charles and Helen Lawson. She grew up in Excelsior, Minnesota, and graduated from Minnetonka High School in 1964. Patricia was united in marriage to Kenneth Kruger on August 26, 1967, at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Excelsior. After attending dental hygienist school at the University of Minnesota, she visited a school and knew she wanted to become a teacher. Patty taught elementary school in Marshall, New London and Atwater. She was voted Teacher of the Year twice and had a special gift for working with students. She loved them and they all loved her.
Patty loved to travel all over the world with her husband, Ken, and friends. She loved attending Faith Lutheran Church and enjoyed working at the Welcome Center. She will be missed by all.
She is survived by her husband, Ken; a brother: Bob (and wife, Bobby) Lawson; a sister: Cathy Pederson; and her nieces and nephews that she loved so dearly.
