Patricia Schaefer Obituary
Pat's greatest fulfillments in life were raising her six children, watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow, and working side by side with her family at George's Gaslight Inn, their home away from home for 35 years. Pat enjoyed live music and loved to dance. She was so good at the jitterbug, that she earned the nickname, "Swivel-hips"! Pat enjoyed an occasional casino trip, playing cards, knitting, annual cookie exchanges, and hosting Christmas Eve.
She is survived by her children: Greg, Chris (Dennis) Stadler, Wendy (Gary) Gelhar, Lance (Cindy), Steph (Phil) Netzer, and Cory; grandchildren: Heidi (John) Jesse, Heather (Casey) Springer, Kelly (Eric) Alvarez, Ben Gelhar, Adam (Taryn) Netzer, Brandon (Ashley) Netzer, Danielle (Ryan) Beach, Athena, Nevada, Brett, and Brenna Schaefer; step-grandchildren: Justin (Katie) Poeschl and Ross (Roxy) Poeschl; twelve great-grandchildren and five step-great grandchildren; brother, Jerry (Jane) Lautenschlager; special friends: Pat Brockway and Shirley Rennert; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Donald; sister, Elizabeth (John) Priske; daughter-in-law, Angela Schaefer; and great-granddaughter, Kera Alvarez.
Pat was forever grateful to Chris, Wendy, Steph, Heidi, and Dennis for enabling her and George to live out their golden years at home.
Thank you for being such a great mom. We love you and we will miss you. You will live on in our hearts forever.
A private service will be held.

No one could dance like Pat and I, all through high school. We cherished our time together with our children. I´ll miss her dearly!

That was beautifully written for a beautiful lady, inside and out. Pat was loved, admired and respected by so many, me included. Thank you for letting me be a little slice of your wonderful family. Rest In Peace.

We are so sorry for the loss of you mom. The holidays will not be easy but I´m sure she would want you to smile, laugh and remember all the wonderful times you all had. Deep sympathy coming your way.

Prayers and special thoughts go out to the entire family. If I had a dime for all the wonderful memories my family spent at George´s I´d be wealthy , only surpassed by the richness and fondness we always carried for your family! God Bless your dear mother, and you all.
