Patricia "Pat" Ann Knoppe, 82, received the promise of eternal life on Tuesday, May 27, 2014.  She was born in Racine on October 12, 1931, daughter of the late William C. and Violet M. (nee: Tiplady) Segnitz.

Patricia was a nurse for St. Luke's Hospital in Racine as well as Kaiser Hospital in California.  She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and friend.  Pat was loved by all she met.

Patricia leaves to cherish her memory, her daughter, Leslie (Michael) Holiday; grandson, Paul Baker; cousins, Donald (Monica) Putning, Caye (Ross) Christensen, and Melissa Dixon.

In addition to her parents, Patricia is preceded in death by her son, Alfred E. Knoppe, Jr.

A celebration of life for Pat (Mom) will held this summer at Avila Beach California.

The family wants to give a special thank you to all the caregivers from Comfort Keepers, the loving members of Seasons Hospice, and Anna Lee Krueger of Care Right, Inc.
