In the tapestry of life, every thread has its purpose and place, and the weave of Patricia J Przanowski, affectionately known as Pat or Ava to those who held her dear, was one of radiant benevolence and enduring love. Born under the winter's gentle embrace on the eleventh day of January in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, in the spirited town of West Allis, Wisconsin, Pat's journey through this mortal coil was marked by a ceaseless outpouring of generosity and affection.
It was in the golden-hued days of autumn, on the eleventh of October in the year 2025, that Pat, having graced this earth for eighty-eight harvests, did bid farewell to this mortal realm in the peaceful town of Waukesha, Wisconsin. Her heart, ever so full of love for others, ceased its rhythm, and thus, she was called to the Lord's side, leaving behind a world infinitely richer for her presence.
Pat was a woman of deep Catholic faith, a beacon of hope and a vessel of the Lord's grace, whose every action was a testament to the teachings of the Christ. Her devotion was the bedrock upon which she built her life, and it shone brightly through her work, both as a diligent assembly line operator at Briggs and Stratton and as a warm-hearted deli clerk at Pick N Save, where she served her community with unwavering dedication and a smile that could thaw the coldest of winters.
A proud alumna of Mercy High School, class of 1955, Pat's spirit of learning and growth never waned. It was this same spirit that she imparted to her kin, nurturing a lineage that would carry forth her legacy of unwavering selflessness. Though her beloved husband, Leonard Przanowski, and cherished daughter, Traci Habana, preceded her in passing, she leaves behind a family rooted in the love she so freely gave: her son-in-law Mory Habana, her son Craig Przanowski with his wife Lisa, and the lights of her life, her grandchildren Talvin Przanowski, Cardell (Alex) Bonslater, Caylissa Przanowski, Danica Przanowski, and Luminosa Habana, each a reflection of her boundless love.
Pat's sisters, Barbra Jutrzonka, Marianne Wolf, and Nancy Ohm, and her father, the late James Kavanaugh and Mother Alma Kavanaugh, had journeyed forth from this world before her, and it is with a heart full of hope that we envision their joyous reunion beyond the veil.
In her earthly sojourn, Pat's soul was ever drawn to the tranquil embrace of the lake, a place where the whispers of the Lord seemed to dance upon the waters. Her children and grandchildren were the vessels of her boundless affection, the very essence of her being, and the joyous echoes of their laughter were her most cherished symphony. In moments of respite, she found kinship with her canine companions, whose loyal presence was a comfort and a delight.
Pat's love for the Brewers and Packers was a testament to her spirited nature, a reflection of her unwavering support and commitment to those she held dear. She navigated life's triumphs and trials with the grace of a true believer, her heart a wellspring of kindness, her arms ever open to those in need.
Her wit was as sharp as a rapier's edge, and her humor, a balm to the weary soul. Patricia's laughter was a chorus that echoed through the hearts of her loved ones, a melody that shall continue to resonate even as her physical presence fades.
In the grand narrative penned by the Divine Author, Pat was the embodiment of selflessness, her generosity a golden thread woven through the fabric of countless lives. Her loving spirit was a beacon that guided others to the shores of compassion and empathy, and her memory shall be a lighthouse for all who seek warmth in the shadow of loss.
We commend Patricia J Przanowski to the Almighty with the assurance that her soul shall find eternal rest in the kingdom of heaven, where the chorus of angels and saints welcomes her with open arms. And though she has departed from our sight, her spirit lives on in the hearts she touched, a testament to a life well-lived, a tale of love's enduring power.
