Through it all, Mamaw Pat loved the Lord. In her last days on this earth she spoke about meeting Jesus. She was ready. She had run her race; and she ran it well! We will miss the way she made us laugh without really even trying, and we will miss her profound words of wisdom and her prayers. We will forever miss her bright blue eyes, her tender hugs and her warm apple pies. Mamaw dedicated her life to loving her family, and her love will live in our hearts until we are reunited once again in Heaven.

Mamaw Pat is preceded in death by her husbands (Wayne Warnholz, Charles Jenkins, Al Freeman, and Cletus Mills), her parents (Ira and Nola Strockbine), her siblings (Bill, Bud, Dottie, and Carolyn), her children (John Warnholz, Debbie Bretzinger, and Sandy Warnholz), her step children (Ronnie and Kelly Jenkins) and her grandchildren (Shannon Bretzinger and Tiffani Warnholz).
