Obituary

Patricia Jean Czajkowski, 72, of Las Vegas, passed away suddenly March 21, 2018. Pat was born September 26, 1945, in Denver, Colorado. She was raised in Lincoln by her parents Evan and Helen Sterling, and attended Lincoln High School.

Pat was a 32-year resident of Las Vegas, and was an active philanthropist on behalf of the American Diabetes Association.

Pat was loved by all who came in contact with her. Her smile radiated warmth and compassion and her genuine curiosity towards others drew people to her, wherever she went. Pat viewed every human encounter as someone who could be a special member of her tribe. She was a matriarch of the human race.

Pat was well-traveled and truly enjoyed exploring the corners of the world and studying the people and cultures in each destination.

At home, she was an avid gardener, interior decorator and her culinary skills were legendary. Pat loved entertaining in her home and sharing her gifts of cheerful joy, humor and gourmet cooking.

Pat loved all animals, but she especially loved her cats.

One of her favorite things was spending time with family and friends at their cabin in Brian Head, Utah.

Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Evan and Helen Sterling.

She is survived by her husband, of 25 years, Gene Czajkowski; her children, Kevin Cole and Kathy Smith of Las Vegas; her grandchildren, Riley and Chandler Smith of Las Vegas; her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Paul and Jean Czajkowski of Los Altos, California; her sister-in-law, Maressa Czajkowski of West Plains, Missouri; her nephews, Brad, Tom and Andrew Czajkowski; and her nieces, Brandy Staton-Austin and Riley (Megan) Czajkowski.
