Patricia
Ann (nee: Piehl) Meeker, 77, was surrounded by the love of her family when
she was called to her Eternal Home on Thursday, Dec. 15, 2011.
She was born in Kenosha
on Aug. 25, 1934, daughter of the late Frederick and Dorothy (nee: Murphy)
Piehl.
Pat was a lifelong
resident of Kenosha. She attended St. Mary Catholic Grade School, Lincoln
Middle School, and Mary D. Bradford High School. On Aug. 20, 1955, Pat was
united in marriage to the love of her life, Donald A. Meeker, at St.
George Catholic Church. She was a member of St. Elizabeth Catholic Church
(formerly St. George) and a member of the Moose Lodge Auxiliary #286. Pat
worked for many businesses over the years including Simmons Co., Manpower,
Olster, Kenosha Auto Transport, and ultimately retired from St.
Catherine’s Hospital in 1990.
Pat loved to camp in the
Northwoods of Wisconsin and, in her retirement, enjoyed the winter months
in Florida with her husband, Don. She enjoyed playing cards and loved
spending time being creative with her crocheting, knitting, and sewing.
Pat loved, above all, spending time with her family. The apples of her eye
were her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be missed by all
who knew her and loved her.
Pat leaves to cherish her
memory, husband of over 56 years, Donald A. Meeker of Kenosha; children,
Ruth A. (Robert) Redlin, Richard F. (Theresa) Meeker, Donald P. Meeker,
all of Kenosha; grandchildren, Amber S. (Michael E.) Szklarski, Marc R.
Redlin, Meghan M. Redlin, Melissa B. (Brian) Magliocco, Blair D. Meeker,
Haley Ann Meeker; great-grandchildren, Dane Robert Szklarski, Reid Michael
Szklarski; sister, Susan E. (Richard) Hughes; and other relatives too
numerous to mention. In addition to her parents, Pat was preceded in death
by her sister, Rosemary Piehl, who died at birth, and her grandparents,
Charles and Susan (nee: Schumacher) Murphy.
