Patty was born March 17, 1959 in Keshena, WI to Robert and Jeanette (Kaquatosh) Orheim. She graduated from Assumption High School in 1977 and furthered her education at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point earning a degree in speech therapy.

Patty worked at Rainbow Bingo, was a tutor for the Ho-Chunk Nation, worked in technical support at Renaissance Learning, and was currently working as a teachers aid at Woodside Elementary in Wisconsin Rapids. Her work was a testament to her love for knowledge and her desire to share it with others. She was a lifelong learner who believed in the transformative power of education.

Her love for life was evident in her hobbies. Patty had a green thumb and adored flowers, often seen tending to them with great care. Her love for baking was well known among her family and friends, as she engaged in friendly competitions with her sisters to see who the best Betty Crocker was. Patty's wit, her generous spirit, and her love for fun were infectious. She was the life of any gathering, often seen doing The Jig, a dance that brought smiles to everyone's faces. Every moment spent with her was a celebration of life. She had a special love for her grandchildren and lovingly cared for them.

Patty is survived by her children: Troy Orheim, Cheyenne Bellanger, and Dylan Corn; grandchildren: Alexis Bellanger, Jesse House, and Avery Bellanger; her mother Jeanette Orheim; siblings: Clara Orheim, Robert J. Orheim, Troy A. Orheim, Carolyn (Chris) Knutson, and Robin (Kent) Kuhlka; and many nieces, nephews, and special friends. She was preceded in death by her son, Bronson Corn; father Robert Orheim; grandmother Mildred Kaquatosh; nephew Zachary Orheim; and special friend Robert Corn.

Herman-Taylor Funeral Home is honored to be assisting the family.
