Patricia Loritz
September 29, 1938 — March 9, 2023
Patricia "Patsy" Loritz, age 84, of Green Bay, entered paradise peacefully at her home, Tuesday, March 7, 2023, with her children by her side. She was born September 29, 1938 in Voth, TX, daughter of the late John and Annie Jewell (Smith) Reed.
She married Jerome "Jerry" Rukamp, July 14, 1956 in Green Bay and they shared 23 years of marriage and were blessed with 5 children. Patricia later married Clifford Loritz, February 25, 1981. Clifford's family lovingly welcomed Patricia into their lives, for which her family will be forever grateful. Primarily, Patsy was a devoted wife and proud mom, grandma and great-grandma. She did work as a cook/bartender for various local establishments, including Bilotti's Pizza Garden and Cliff & Ceil's Bar and Ballroom.
Patsy loved trips to the casino, listening to music and the beautiful views from her lake homes in retirement. She held a soft spot in her heart for her dog and cats.
Patricia is survived by her children: Cheryl Corrigan, Kathy (Tom) Buechler, Sue (Chuck) Hoogland, Brenda (Jim) Nelson and Mark (Amy) Rukamp; 12 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren and a sister, Johnnie Fay Myers. She is further survived by her stepchildren, Sharon (Mike) DeGrave, Lynn (Lyle) Koenig, Cindy (Dave) VanPay, Brenda (John) Mleziva, Nancy (Zig) Loritz and Dale (Debbie) Loritz, their children and grandchildren. Additionally, nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her first husband, Jerry, her second husband, Cliff, several sisters and a brother.
A celebration of Patricia's life will be held by her family at a later date.
Patsy's family would like to extend their gratitude to Unity Hospice for their care and compassion.
