Patricia Hinn

God called
our sweet mother, Patricia Anne Hinn, 87, of Fond du Lac, to her heavenly home
on Wednesday, February 6, 2019. She is now resting in the everlasting arms of
Jesus. She is finally reunited with her loving husband Ervin, her beloved son
Michael and other loved ones who went home before her.

Pat was born

Lac. She grew up in Fond du Lac and attended St. Joseph’s Grade School &
L.P. Goodrich High School, where she graduated in 1949. She then went on to
Marian College where she earned her teaching degree in 1953. She taught at
Cooper Elementary School in Sheboygan from fall of 1953 until June of 1955. It
was there that she met Patricia Malone, and thus began the life long friendship
of “Sagie and Malone”! In 1954, Pat traveled all over Europe for three months
visiting friends. She then taught at Elizabeth Waters in Fond du Lac until her
marriage.

knitting, watching classic movies, sewing and crafted over 200 baptismal
blankets and prayer shawls for Presentation Parish. She also quilted for Mary’s
Helping Hands. Pat was also very proud of her Irish heritage.
