Pat was a loving and gentle woman who cherished her family. She enjoyed playing cards, baking, happy hours, casino trips, and was an avid sports fan who always knew the latest details about her favorite teams. She took pride in always having her hair done and was rarely seen without her lipstick.
Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Patrick and Margaret Hegge; her husband, Robert Ludtke; and her son, Jeff Palmer.
She is survived by her daughter Julie (Bryan) Hearit, brothers, Randy (Wendi) Hegge, Jerry (Peggy) Hegge, and Dick (Nancy) Hegge; stepson, Brian (Cindy) Ludtke; grandsons, Deklan (Sophie) Hearit and Ryan (Megan) Jack Nolen, and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and dearest friend Carolyn
Pat will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
