Pat was a devoted mother and wife of 53 years. She graduated in 1963 from Roosevelt HS in East Chicago. After working in Chicago, she met and married Tom Ohlstrom in 1973 and moved to Highland. There she raised 3 wonderful children. Pat really enjoyed working at the Highland Pharmacy in the Hallmark department. She always checked the back of the greeting cards she received to make sure they were Hallmark. She enjoyed traveling to visit family. In her empty nesting years, she enjoyed patronizing the gambling boats and playing Keno. Above all, family was most important to her.

I am sorry for your loss. I remember Pat (and Melanie) from when my sister Linda and I were growing up in East Chicago in the 1950's. I have fond memories of those times.
Lean on God during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
