Patricia “Pat” Ann Nolan, 88, passed away peacefully on August 11, 2026. She was born on October 10, 1937, in Saginaw, Michigan, to the late Arthur and Gladys Schneider. Pat was raised in Saginaw and remained proud of her Michigan roots throughout her life.
Pat enjoyed a fulfilling career as an administrative assistant for Boysville of Michigan. Her strong Christian faith was an important part of her life, and she was a longtime member of St. John Lutheran Church in Saginaw. Later, when she moved to Holland, Michigan, she attended First Reformed Church.
Known for her friendly and outgoing personality, Pat had a gift for making others feel welcome. She was a loving mother and a devoted, doting grandmother who cherished her family above all else. She will be remembered for the warmth, love, and joy she brought to those around her.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Duane "Mac" Nolan, who passed away in 2010. Married in 1972, they shared many happy years together. Mac proudly adopted and raised her children, Terry and Debbie, as his own. She was also preceded in death by her beloved brother, Jack, whom she lost when she was just nine years old.
She is survived by her children, Terry Nolan (Patricia) and Debra Fisher (Timothy); and her beloved grandchildren, Ashley, Savannah, Tyler, Kyle, and Kasey.
The family will gather for a private service to celebrate Pat’s life at Roswell Funeral Home. Pat will be placed to rest with her husband Duane at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Saginaw, Michigan at a later date.
