Patricia Ann Reinheimer, age 88, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on October 10, 2024.
Pat was born on December 8, 1935, to Chester and Irene McGilsky in Two Rivers, WI. She graduated from Mayville High School, where she was a cheerleader. She could still do the splits and high kicks well into her 70's! She was also a lifeguard and swim teacher. She waterskied into her 50's.
Pat attended Columbia Hospital School of Nursing where she became an RN. She met David Reinheimer, and they married on June 7, 1959. Together they raised three children in Whitefish Bay. She was always busy volunteering as PTA president, as Christian Women's Club speaker, and at church. She took in foster babies during the late 60's and early 70's. She returned to nursing after her kids were grown, focusing in the mental health field. She had a passion for helping families affected by mental health issues. She continued to work until she was about 75. Her greatest accomplishment is the way she loved and cared for her children and grandchildren.
Pat is survived by children Steven Reinheimer and Ann (Stephen) Rogers; Grandchildren Dustin (Mimi Holton) Reinheimer, Kristina Rogers and Hannah (Mitchell) Kinney; great grandchildren Logan and Henry Reinheimer, and Adelaide and Duncan Kinney; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband David, her son Tom, her parents, and her sisters Gerry and Mary.
A memorial service for Pat will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, November 9, 2024, at St. Paul Stony Hill Lutheran Church, N5736 Hickory Rd in Shawano. Lunch will follow. Visitation will begin at 10:00 am on Saturday until the time of service.
Memorials can be made in the name of St. Paul Stony Hill joint youth fund and checks can be written to St Paul Stoney Hill Lutheran Church.
