Patricia Jean (Hazen) Wirtz April 13, 1953 ~ Sept. 12, 2012

Our beloved sister, Pat, died at the Texas lake home she loved in the same way she lived, with acceptance and optimism. She was born and grew up in Wisconsin, always proud of her Midwestern roots. Pat and Mark Wirtz, her childhood sweetheart and husband of 38 years, lived many places after marrying in 1974. They loved their life together and made the most of every opportunity.
Pat had a gift for making others smile. Her energy, creativity and spirit made her special. She valued greatly her family and friends across the country. Their support and the love shown to her this past year made her challenge lighter. Even to the end, Pat loved nothing more than helping empower someone else
Pat was preceded in death by her husband, Mark, brother, Harold and parents, Edith and Howard Hazen. She is survived by her brothers, Brian (Brigid), Robert (Diane), sister, Marcia, five nephews, three nieces and loving friend, Raymond Whitehead.
In lieu of flowers or memorials it was Pat’s request that an act of kindness be done for someone in need today. A Celebration will be held on Saturday, Sept. 22 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Ted and Terry Gulden’s, 730 Clear Cove Drive, Granite Shoals.
We are grateful for the wonderful care given by Dr. Jules Madrigal and her gifted staff. Thank you to Susie Satterwhite, RN, for her kindness and genuine caring. And a special thank you to Terry and Ted Gulden for being who they are.
