Patricia Elizabeth Zentgraf

Patricia Elizabeth Zentgraf, age 94, of Pasadena, Maryland, passed away peacefully on February 8, 2026. She was born on October 11, 1931, in Baltimore, Maryland to the late Michael and Catherine Schloer.

Patricia was the beloved wife of the late Anthony Leo Zentgraf, with whom she shared a lifetime of love, family, and devotion. Together, they built a home rooted in faith, generosity, and deep family bonds.

A devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Patricia’s life centered around her church and her family. She was known for her creative spirit and artistic talents, finding joy in painting and drawing.

Patricia also had a legendary talent for “mapping out” yard sales, always knowing exactly where the next good find would be. If you ever needed anything, chances are she had it — often tucked away in what family fondly referred to as her “store in the attic.”

She is survived by her loving children: Anthony Zentgraf, Jr. (Kathy), Deborah Miller (Ken), Brenda O’Connor, Kenny Zentgraf (Alicia), and Barbara Dorsey. She is also survived by her siblings David Schloer (Peggy).

She was preceded in death by her siblings Rosalie Helbig (the late Arthur) and Michael Robert Schloer (the late Rae Deen) and Joan Krauss (the late Ron).

Patricia leaves behind a cherished legacy through her 12 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought immense joy to her life.

Her kindness, resourcefulness, faith, and unwavering love for her family will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.
