Pat was part of the Mt Pulaski
community for over 50 years and made many dear
friends. She was an active member of Mt Pulaski
Christian Church where she enjoyed teaching a Bible
class for 36 years. She continued to teach the Bible
as a resident of Vonderlieth.
She loved to visit, tell stories, and reminisce with
everyone. A highlight in her life was visiting the
Holy Land with Andy, her dear husband. She was a
published poet, a passionate lover of all her
puppies, and a much loved “aunt” to many. Pat’s
faith, family, and friends continued to be her
lifeblood.
Services for Pat will be held at 2:00pm on Thursday,
March 6, 2025 at Mt. Pulaski Christian Church.
Visitation will be prior to the service from
1:00-2:00pm also at the church. Memorial Donations
may be made in Pat’s name to the Humane Society of
Logan County. Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home
in Mt. Pulaski has been entrusted with the
