Patti Lee(Brabazon) Fett passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on June 24, 2025 after a brief illness. Patti was born January 20, 1953 to the late Mildred(Voeks) and Alden Brabazon. She spent her idyllic childhood in beautiful Door County surrounded by her close childhood friends, cousins and her beloved late brother William Brabazon. She reflected often on days spent on her parents' mink farm(Brabazon Mink Farm), Lake Theatre(Skyway Drive Inn) and Voeks's grocery stores. Her family's lineage was very important to her and was a huge source of pride. Patti's love of anything nautical began in her youth; she took sailing lessons, worked at the Sturgeon Bay Yacht Club, Alpine Resort and in her adult life spent family time by the water. The traditions that she cherished dearly as a child, she continued with her own family such as annually attending July 4th Baileys Harbor parade and getting together with her family, aunts, uncles, and cousins after to have a reunion filled with great food, laughter and shared memories. Patti attended Southern Door High School where she met and later married William Fett. They were married for 37 years and had 3 children together: Ethan(Kristin) Fett, Megan(John) Bekish, Dustan(Cloee) Fett.
Patti was a very unique and colorful person with many interests. She will be remembered for her infectious laugh and free spirit. She was a youth in the late 60's and early 70's which played a huge part in who she was. Patti had an artistic side and enjoyed drawing, fashion, dance, music and interior design. Patti was one of the first ever "Golden Girls," NFL Packer Cheerleaders and she was very delighted to be a part of. She lived life on her own terms and did not let other people's opinions of her change who she was. Patti would often take day trips for a cup of coffee, a good meal and a shopping experience. She enjoyed talking to people from all different walks of life and loved finding common interests in those conversations. She frequented many of the same establishments where people looked forward to seeing her and she left a lasting impression on all who worked there. Patti would spend hours reading medical journals, religious literature, magazines and self help books. Her WELS Lutheran religion grounded her and was pivotal to the way she raised her children, who were all baptized and confirmed in the faith and attended private schools. Patti was very involved in the WELS grade schools and was a member of various congregations throughout Sturgeon Bay and the Green Bay Area, and bible study groups where she made lifelong friends. Because of her strong faith, we know that she is with the Lord and Savior, and reunited with her loved ones that she longed for.
