Patricia "Patty" Lou (Wolfgong) TOMILIN

Patricia Lou Tomilin passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 25, 2016 at Froedtert Memorial Hospital after a courageous 2 ½ year battle with MDS/Leukemia.

Patty was born on July 26, 1946 in Summerville, Pennsylvania to Robert and Mary (Yeany) Wolfgong.

Patty is survived by her loving and adoring husband Ron, her children Kyle (Sara) Tomilin and Heather (Yates) McKenzie, her grandchildren Mason Leigh, Pierce and Logan.  Patty is also survived by her brother Donald (Diane) Wolfgong and sister Sally (George) Otto.

Patty treated every day like a gift and prompted everyone to do the same.  She closed out messages with “Make it a GREAT day!”  Patty loved life.  She embodied a bon vivant that was contagious to both friends and strangers.  Patty consistently thought of others before herself and always did her best to show compassion and love.   “Party Patty”/AKA P.T. had a certain sparkle that lit up her surroundings and her boisterous, fun-loving laugh will be greatly missed.

A celebration of Patty’s life will be held Thursday, September 29, 2016 at the Broadlands Golf Course Clubhouse, 18 Augusta Way, North Prairie, WI 53153 (262) 392-6320 from 2 – 5 P.M.
