Patti Anne Gaertner, 66, passed away surrounded by the love of her family. She was a woman of deep and sincere faith, and it showed in her patience, humility, wisdom, and the way she loved the people in her life.

She was a homemaker and educator for 38 years. She and her husband Tony were married for 42 years, and they treasured their time together. They raised twin daughters, Rebecca and Jennifer, and a son, Brian, homeschooling them with an education rooted in their values and faith. Her young granddaughter Maggie brought her great joy in her final years.

She loved to garden, read, crochet, and research her family's history. She had a rich inner life that was intellectual, spiritual, and Bible-based. She faced real difficulty in her life and met it with joy and faith that didn't waver. She was humble and kind, and she loved without condition.

Patti is survived by her husband, Tony Gaertner; her daughter Rebecca and son-in-law William, and their daughter Maggie; her daughter Jennifer and son-in-law Dave; her son Brian; her brothers Charles, Ray, and David; and her sisters-in-law, with whom she shared a close and cherished bond in her later years.

She will be greatly missed. May her memory be eternal.
