Patricia was a dedicated homemaker who loved to do crafts of all kinds. She was an active member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church before joining Our Saviour's Lutheran Church for her senior years. Her church family at Our Saviour's included, among others, the quilting group, Daybreak singers, and the Young at Heart Senior group. For several years she sent care packages to Appleton National Guard Units at regular intervals. She enjoyed camping and traveling with her family who looked forward to her chocolate chip cookies and brownies for these occasions. Her home was always the center for family holidays and her grandchildren and great grandchildren were frequent visitors. Her family and friends will miss her kind and welcoming attitude and her feisty insistence on what was right and fair. We all carry the imprint of her influence in our hearts.
Patricia is survived by her six children, Lynn (Dave) Dosch, Madison, Nancy Walters, Madison, Carl (Donna) Hanson, Forrest Junction, Sharon (Todd) Smith, Asheboro, North Carolina, Dale (Kim) Hanson, Appleton, Yvonne Bates, Denver, Colorado, grandchildren; Michael (Browen) Dosch, Katie (Randy) Richgels, Christie Dosch, Adam (Heather) Hanson, David Hanson, Betsy (Ryan) Pennings, Justin Smith, Benjamin Hanson, Jessica Copeland and Nicolle Bates, great grandchildren; Tyler Snyder, MiKayla Pennings, MiKenzie Pennings, Ryder Pennings, Eli Hanson, Evan Hanson, and Owen Hanson, her sister Monica McBride and a brother Gerry Sullivan, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Patricia was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Melvin, son-in-law Robert Walters, and two brothers and six sisters.

Pat has a special place in my heart as my Godmother. She was a special person, always looking out for others. She lived a full life and was active and put her heart into everything she did. She'll be greatly missed by all who knew her. Mel has been waiting awhile for her, and they were finally reunited. God has another angel.

I remember Aunt Pat quite well. I enjoyed visiting their home when I was a child. Aunt Pat even came to my wedding 2 years ago. Living so far away, I have not seen my cousins in some time. I express my condolences to all of you. Love, Darlene Hanson Thomay Weaver

Pat had a heart of gold. She was always so willing to do things for others. I was always so happy walking beside her at church--someone shorter than me!! Rest in peace, Pat. You will be missed.
