Pat was in the ATTIC Theatre with roles in “Gypsy” and “The King and I”. She was also affiliated with the Appleton Junior Woman’s Club for 25 years. Her community achievements included 9th Grade Blood Pressure Clinics, Braille Trail at Bubolz Nature Center, her cover design taking 1st place for the Learning Disabilities Program being introduced into the AASD. Pat also designed the mascot for “Woodsey Owl” programs which introduced recycling into grade school level. During her years with the AJWC she was a Post Crescent candidate for Woman of the Year. She completed her time with the AJWC as President.

Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Donald Goodwin and June (Lester) Schroeder; brothers-in-law, Calvin Falk, Richard Van de Weghe, and Bob Arneson; and nephew, Eric Falk.

Pat is survived by her husband of 63 years, Carl Kosiorek, the love of her life; three children, Kelly (David) Romnek, Kimberly (Steve) Hanson, and Jeffery (Melissa) Kosiorek; four grandsons, Drew, Luke, and Ben Romnek, and Joshua (Amanda) Gischia; granddaughter, Summer (Anthony) Current; great-grandson, Lucas Current; sisters, Kay Van de Weghe, Donna (Rod) Eckes, and Sandy Arneson; brother, David (Sue) Schroeder; best friend of over 70 years, Sharon Schmidt; as well as many cousins, nephews, and nieces.

A memorial service for Pat will be at Faith Lutheran Church, 601 E. Glendale Ave, Appleton, where Pat was married in 1960 and a member for 63 years. The service will be held on Friday, June 2, 2023, at 11 AM. Friends may visit the family from 9:00 until the time of service.

We were blessed to have you for our mom, Nana, and Great-Nana. You were always there to help, encourage, and show us unending love and support. We will miss you at all the holiday celebrations, sitting around a campfire with a martini (shaken not stirred), and the awesome memories at the cottage on Mole Lake. Pat was an avid Packers and Brewers fan (especially Aaron Rodgers and Josh Hader).

The family would like to thank the wonderful care and compassion of Moments Hospice and ThedaCare Hospice, and the incredible care, attention, and compassion that everyone showed at County Villa Assisted Living in Little Chute.
