Patricia Rae Mikolajewski, age 74, of Hempstead, Texas passed away on Thursday, January 13, 2022. Patricia was born November 23, 1947 in Brenham, Texas to Doris and Edmund Bader. She grew up in Houston, Texas where she graduated high school from Jefferson Davis High in 1966. She worked at Hartford Insurance as a policy writer for over 20 years. She married John Mikolajewski on February 15, 1990 and then moved to Hempstead, Texas, where she lived until her passing.
Patricia loved to go out dancing with her friends, which is how she met her husband John. She was also a huge fan of Elvis and country music. In her later years she enjoyed visiting Las Vegas, staying at a different hotel each time: her Search-a-Word puzzle books and watching "The Price is Right". She made the best chocolate fudge every Christmas.
