Patricia was born September 21st, 1937 in Linn, Missouri, the youngest of 9 children to George and Wilhelmina Voss. She grew up on a farm where she especially enjoyed being outside helping her dad with chores and her mom with the chickens. She moved to St. Louis for work after high school where she lived with her sisters and friends. In 1960 she married John and began an adventure. Work took them all over the United States: St. Louis, Seattle, Pinehurst, and Milwaukee being the major stops. Along the way they raised a family. Her role was making a loving home ensuring it always centered on Faith. She was active in every parish and school. She volunteered in Hospital Ministry, Meals on Wheels, many Right to Life organizations, parish choir and working at the polls. In retirement, their adventures became traveling with friends, visiting their growing family, playing cards and working around their home. She cherished her Catholic faith, family, and friends. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, camping, playing cards, hiking, and talking. Her home was always welcoming and entertaining. Time with her sisters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren was precious and brought her joy!
