Patricia was born December 6, 1939 in Guttenburg, Iowa, the daughter of Michael L. and June Rose (Jacobs) Wolter. She attended St. Mary’s School in Guttenburg. Patricia contributed greatly to our society by the lives she touched. With her laugh, she would lighten a room. She loved visiting with family and friends. Patricia worked many years at the Galena Workshop, Galena, Illinois. She never gave up in life, and she can now hear the words, “job well done.” Pat always enjoyed visiting with her family and some close friends. She would enjoy the visits by the pets that were brought in. She would always have a welcoming “HELLO” for all that entered the nursing home. She was a member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church of Hanover.
Patricia will be dearly missed by two brothers, Gabriel (Cheryl) Wolter of Texas and David (Belva) Wolter of South Carolina; a sister-in-law, Irene Wolter of Hanover; and several loving nieces and nephews. Patricia is preceded in death by both parents; and two brothers, Bill Wolter in 2012, and Leo in 1994, and two siblings in infancy. The Family would like to than FHN Hospice, Hospice nurse Nancy and CNA Yolands for their care as well as Amy for her assistance. The family would also like to thank the Elizabeth Nursing home for her care over the years.
